President Joe Biden’s White House has begun referring to border crossers and illegal aliens as “new arrivals” and “internalized persons.” This terminological distinction is inconsistent with federal immigration law.
President Biden’s White House on Thursday referred to border crossers and undocumented immigrants in pushing forward a Senate bill to maintain a catch-and-release network at the U.S.-Mexico border, forcing them into the United States. called him a “newcomer.”
White House fact sheet on the Senate bill read:
The bill also includes $1.4 billion for cities and states that provide critical services. It will provide services to new entrants and expedite work permits for those already in the country. and qualify. [Emphasis added]
A similar incident occurred earlier this month. press release Regarding the Senate bill, the Biden White House touted that the bill would provide billions of dollars to cities and states that take in these so-called “newcomers.”
The Biden administration has focused on eliminating all references to “illegal aliens” or “illegal immigrants” from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), instead using “more inclusive” terms such as “noncitizens” and “illegal aliens.” The authorities are requesting that the authorities use the term “informative”. ”
In July 2023, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defended these changes.
At the Department of Homeland Security, I issued a memo very early on that we would no longer use the term “illegal alien” when talking about these people. We use the term “non-national,” which speaks to the importance of respecting the dignity of the individual. [Emphasis added]
Congressional Democrats aim to ban the terms “illegal alien” and “alien” from federal law, introducing a bill in 2021 that would strip all references to the terms.
Despite the Biden administration’s efforts, the term “alien” is regularly used as a legal definition to describe foreign nationals residing in the United States. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) codified this term; define it as “any person who is not a citizen or citizen of the United States.”
