Independent Migrant

I hereby propose that in lieu of the term illegal alien all lovers of liberty use independent migrant.

  1. A good suggestion.

    "Unsurveilled worker" might also help get at the heart of what the principled conservatives in the Know-Nothing Party are getting so exercised about, when their objections are colored by something other than overt racism or classism.

  2. Thanks for the new term. I've been looking for something like this. Whenever the issue comes up, I occasionally find myself defaulting to the term 'illegal alien', and I find it grating.
