are not the correct terms for them, then what do we call those people without being offensive?
Please keep it clean.
They don't like the terms 'illegal alien' 'illegal immigrant' 'illegal invader', what do we refer to them as, when discussing this illegal immigration issue? You can't really call them 'undocumented workers', some are not workers.
We can't always call them "people-from south-of-the-USA-who-are
-not-citizens",
that's rather ridiculous. What then??

You ask them de donde eres? Then respond accordingly. If they are from Guatamala - they're Guatamalans, etc...as far as the legal thing is concerned - if they are here illegally - that's a simple fact - it doesn't matter whether they like the fact or not. Legal is legal, illegal means you're illegal. I work with Hispanics everyday in the legal profession and the majority of them are very honest about being illegal (if they are) and don't seem to mind the question.

Obviously - they are to be called Criminals - If you circumvented the system and came here Illegally - you are not undocumented workers as they choose to break the law and continue to do so - I don't see how anyone can propose amnesty as that would open the door to more illegal alien criminals - first we need to close the door and then weed out the criminals.

I will continue to call them illegals, illegal immigrants, illegal aliens, criminals, etc. I don't really care whether or not they like it. They can get out. They have no rights here.

Mexican Indians do not mind if white people run over them.It has been going for over 300 years.They are used to it. The spaniards made a big mistake by not wiping them out.They should have done what the white people did with the North American Indians and wiped them out.It is too late now because of news media coverage.The world would find out white people are not really civilized.

THE US govt back in the early 90s coined the term Hispanic. Not us Hispanics. We prefer to be called what we are. I am of Spanish ancestry from Spain. I say I am Spanish American. So, a Mexican not a us citizen or legal perm res is Mexican American Salvadoran American etc.
BTW Latino can also be used to decsribed an Italian and a French person. They all speak Latin languages derived from Latin.
BTW all medical and scientic terms are name in Latin.

Look , this is simple mathematics,,, if you come from Germany, China, Honduras, Argentina, Russia, Columbia, Brazil, Canada, or any other Country, across our Mexican border illegally,,, What do you call them, well they are illegal immigrant coming into our country and you call them illegal aliens. Now if you deal with them individually, they are from different countries and you have to called them by their nationality,,, is it clear now. Good luck.

CRIMINALS!!! They are not law abiding citizens, therefore they are criminals and I don't care if I'm politically correct or not. I just call it what it is. I'm not saying they're bad people, but they ARE breaking the law. Illegal immigrants IS what the are!!!!

It seems everything is "offensive" even when it's not ment to be.......so I don't really care anymore. They are illegal immigrants and if that "offends".....too bad.
