I have come to believe that the term illegal immigrant is insensitive and has negative connotations. It should be replaced with a term like undocumented worker that will not hurt peoples feelings. There are other terms in our language that are equally insensitive and make people feel bad when they hear them. I have listed some of these with my suggested replacements.


Crack dealer should be unlicensed pharmacist
Muggers should be called independent collection agents
Burglars should be unsolicited property movers
Street Gangs should be called Avenue Associations
Con Artists should be called truth challenged entrepreneurs or maybe just politicians
