"Undocumented" no longer makes the cut. Illegal immigrants are now "displaced foreign travelers"

I mentioned this on IMMIGRATION WATCH recently but it obviously has a place here too
"In the Forest Service's news release about the recent string of marijuana busts, I discovered a term of art I'd never encountered before:

"During the raid, a U.S. Forest Service K-9 team located Gauldry Almonte-Hernandez, a displaced foreign traveler from Michoacán Mexico, who had tried to flee the area and hide while officers were performing entry into the marijuana garden"

"Displaced foreign traveler"? Makes it sound like he meant to go to Disneyland, got lost, and ended up at a pot plantation in the woods south of Hayfork.

This is simply another example of the insidious and corrosive virus that's is speading throughout our society. It's called, political correctness, and it is destroying us, as it was meant to do.

Created by Leftist college professors, PC has caused deep changes in every single aspect of our lives. It has altered how we think, how we act and react to others, and as you can see, has even changed our language. For those weak enough to subscribe and adhere to it, PC has altered reality itself. For people like that, dealing with reality is "uncomfortable", so they simply change that reality to something that doesn't make them feel bad. Like the most addictive drugs, PC is used to control what people say and how they think. It is in fact, the drug of choice for this nation of sheeple.

Years ago, there was an old saying that went, "there's only two things in life that can't be avoided, death and taxes". But crooks like Charles Rangel and John Kerry have proved that taxes can be avoided, if you have the power. To make it 100% true, that old saying should've said, "the only things in life that can't be avoided are death and reality".

it's only logical. In a PC world, any term used to describe something that puts that something in a negative light has to be changed into something that doesn't do that.
And everyone knows by now that "undocumented worker" means "illegal immigrant", so it was only a matter of time before an even more innocious and incorrect term was invented as a pseudonym for "criminal who entered the country illegally".

WORD OF THE DAY
DICTATORSHIP, n.


A political pestilence wherein a reigning tyrant who is above the law rules by decree, it is taking root at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, under the Obama Regime.

I read the original article - the phrase was nowhere in it.
