In a recent Rasmussen poll, 35% of likely United States voters believe “illegal alien” is the best term to describe foreigners who illegally penetrate the US’s southern border in violation of our immigration laws.
On the other hand, 27% signaled that “illegal immigrant” is the best term to describe these invaders. 20% of voters consider “undocumented migrant” as the best description, whereas 12% prefer “asylum seeker.”
Following his use of “illegal” during his State of the Union address to describe José Antonio Ibarra – the 26-year-old Venezuelan national accused of murdering Georgia nursing student Laken Riley – Biden said during an interview: “I shouldn’t have used illegal, it’s undocumented.”
80% of Republican voters, 44% of Democrat voters, and 60% of independent voters selected “illegal alien” or “illegal immigrant” as the adequate term for those who broke American law by crossing the border in violation of federal law.
28% of Democrat voters, 9% of Republican voters, and 21% of independent voters indicated “undocumented migrant” is the best term. 17% of Democrat voters, 7% of Republican voters, and 10% of independent voter favor the term “asylum seekers.”
66% of likely voters are worried that illegal immigration may play a significant role in creating the violent crime wave afflicting America, which includes 46% who are very concerned. 31% aren’t worried that illegal immigration adds to America’s crime problem, which includes 10% who are not concerned.
56% of voters believe illegal immigration makes the US a worse country, whereas 14% believe illegal immigration makes the US better and 25% stated it does not make much of a difference.
76% of Republican voters, 38% of Democrat voters, and 56% of independent voters believe illegal immigration makes the US a worse country. 22% of Democrat voters, 8% of Republican voters, and 10% of independent voters stated that illegal immigration makes the country better. 34% of Democrat voters, 12% of Republican voters, and 28% of independent voters believe illegal immigration doesn’t have much of an impact.
84% of Republican voters, 51% of Democrat voters, and 65% of independent voters are at least somewhat worried that illegal immigration may contribute to America’s violent crime problem.
64% of white voters, 73% of black voters, and 70% of non-black minorities are at least somewhat worried that illegal immigration may add to the violent crime problem in America. 62% of white voters, 55% of black voters, and 64% of non-black minorities indicated that both “illegal alien” or “illegal immigrant” are the correct terms for individuals who break American law by penetrating the border.
With respect to voters who believe illegal immigration makes the US a worse country, 73% are very concerned that illegal immigration may play a contributing role to the country’s immigration problems.
Let’s split hairs here. Illegal immigrants are invaders plain and simple. Calling them “undocumented” merely trivializes the criminality and civilization-destroying facets of their behavior. It’s time to dispense with political correctness and call things as they are.
