Lately in news reports and comments, people stray away from the defined terms (alien, immigrant, illegal alien, nonimigrant, undocumented alien, etc) for either their own political agenda or fear of not being politically correct.  It is concerning when our reporters or those commenting will lean toward a political agenda instead of being neutral and factual - making it a challenge to know what is and what is not - potentially creating (and unfortunate) a divide between people.  So here is a link one should review, and when one reports or comments, on how these terms are defined - then use appropriately.
