| 9. Isn't it a legal term just like the word 'legal alien'? |
|
Some friends of mine are attorneys and they say that the term 'illegal alien' is a perfectly fine and specific term because the word describes the illegal action of an outsider who entered a country.
I suppose from a legal standpoint, it could be acceptable? But, that's just based on what my attorney friends say and they're quite progressive.
