HERE WE GO; HE WHO CONTROLS THE VOCABULARY CONTROLS THE COUNTRY –  OVERNIGHT:  The Biden crowd seems awfully familiar in its thinking.  Think Barack Hussein Obama Jr.  From Fox: 

The Biden administration is urging officials at the Department of Homeland Security to stop using phrases like "illegal alien" in favor of what it says are more "inclusive" terms -- part of a broader effort by the administration to change language use on immigration.

Acting U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) Director Tracy Renaud recently signed a memo that a USCIS spokesman said "aligns our language practices with the administration’s guidance on the federal government’s use of immigration terminology."

Axios first reported that the Feb. 12 memo urges officials to stop referring to people as "alien," in favor of "noncitizen." It also tells officials to refer to "undocumented individual" or "undocumented noncitizen" rather than "illegal alien." It also recommends "integration" rather than "assimilation."

"This change is designed to encourage more inclusive language in the agency’s outreach efforts, internal documents and in overall communication with stakeholders, partners, and the general public," USCIS spokesman Joe Sowers said in a statement. "The guidance does not affect legal, policy or other operational documents, including forms, where using terms (such as applicant, petitioner, etc.) as defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act would be the most appropriate."

The shift is part of a broader move by the administration to change language on immigration and illegal immigration.

BuzzFeed News reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials have shifted from using "illegal alien" to "noncitizen"in comments to reporters, while then-acting DHS Secretary David Pekoske used the term "noncitizen" to refer to illegal immigrants who could be targeted by ICE.

COMMENT:  The goal is to get millions of undocumented immigrants into this country, and eventually give them the right to vote.  The Democrats are pursuing one-party rule, and, if they can get D.C. and Puerto Rico admitted as states, they may just get it.  A sad day for freedom.
