illegal alien. The 1st thing they do when the cross the border is break our laws, hence the "illegal" part. "alien" comes in because they are not from this country. When you put them together you get someone who should be shipped home via UPS overnight delivery.

The correct terminology is illegal alien. Its not a derogatory term,it is factually accurate .The undocumented worker is an illegal alien so its the honest assessment of what that person should be referred to as. Illegal alien is the term that the Border Patrol and other law enforcement agency's use and that's good enough for me .

I have always associated alien with a little body and a big bubble head person from mars or the moon,,
undocumented worker takes illegal out of the picture so I dont like that either

Illegal alien is someone who illegally resides in another country. Alien is not a derogatory term. The person may or may not have a job.
Undocumented worker is someone who works with fake or no documentation. Therefore, he or she would also be considered a law breaker. In difference with illegal alien, it can be said that an undocumented worker has a job.

Illegal Alien. Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a burglar an "uninvited guest". It's a media term developed to gain sympathy for illegal aliens.

Illegal alien because every illegal alien isn't working to be considered an undocumented worker.

illegal alien....how can they call themselves undocumented workers when some of them don't work. Plus there is the fact that they are breaking the law usually not just by being here but with identity theft, driving without a license or insurance among other things.

illegal alien! Undocumented worker sounds like they have done nothing wrong. MAYBE they should get a parking ticket but "they are not criminals."
BULL! They have broken our laws!

Calling an illegal alien an undocumented worker is like calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist. Call things what they are and ignore all the politically correct BS,that's my opinion anyway.
