    You only say that because the quality of that paper is equal to the career of the writer. And it's just crap.

    It's an opinion from a teachers assistent. And you call that a "scholar".
    Which is fine... you know.

    That the "scholar" is a teachers assistent is not a "nuh uh" argument.
    You're the one that is shrugging it off as if that doesn't matter. lol


    Tell me, when a thug with a badge kills a black woman standing in her own bedroom by just shooting through the window, never identifying himself. Than do you associate that thug with a badge as a black man? Come on... make that ill joke.

    That's not what I am saying. I am saying your source is a teachers aid.

    Nope. My argument aint a nuh uh... my argument is... your source is a teachers aid. It's a joke. And you got nothing to rebuke than to attempt to ignore.

    My rebuttal is that it was written by a teachers assistent. And you got nothing against it, except ignoring that.

    “Illegal Alien” Is One of Many Correct Legal Terms for “Illegal Immigrant”

    Rhetoric plays an unfortunately large role in public policy debates. Generally, those who are particularly supportive of deporting illegal immigrants tend to call them “illegal aliens” while those who prefer legalization tend to use the term “undocumented immigrants.” As I’ve written before, these euphemisms are tiresome and don't matter much so I use the term “illegal immigrants” because most people understand that.

    However, one argument by immigration restrictionists in favor of using the term “illegal alien” is that it is the technical legal term. Hans von Spakovsky of the Heritage Foundation makes this point. Representative Julian Castro (D-TX) introduced the Correcting Hurtful and Alienating Names in Government Expression (CHANGE) Act recently to amend U.S. immigration law to, among other things, replace the term “illegal alien” with “undocumented foreign national.” I don’t expect that bill to become law.

    Regardless, most people seem to assume that “illegal alien” is the correct legal term. Recently, Judge Andrew Hanen addressed this rhetorical issue in his decision of Texas v. U.S. when he wrote:

    The Court uses the phrases "illegal immigrant" and "illegal alien" interchangeably. The word ‘immigrant’ is not used in the manner in which it is defined in Title 8 of the United States Code unless it is so designated. The Court also understands that there is a certain segment of the population that finds the phrase "illegal alien" offensive. The Court uses this term because it is the term used by the Supreme Court in its latest pronouncement pertaining to this area of the law. See Arizona v. United States, 132 S. Ct. 2492, 2497 (2012).

    However, U.S. immigration law, Congress, and government agencies use many different terms in place of “illegal aliens.” The most famous example is the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. Also, the Department of Homeland Security frequently used the term “unauthorized immigrant.” I searched immigration law (CTRL-F) for every term I could think of to describe illegal immigrants. My searches included every combination of the first words illegal, unauthorized, undocumented, irregular, and infiltrator with the second word of immigrant, alien, migrant, person, entrant, or person. The term “foreign national” was not preceded by an adjective so I did not search for it.

    Table 1 shows the different terms used to describe the concept of an illegal immigrant in Title 8 of the U.S. Code, the portion of the law that contains laws on citizenship, nationality, and immigration. Those combinations of words were mentioned 84 times. The term “illegal alien” was mentioned most of all – 33 times for 39 percent of total mentions. The second most common term was “unauthorized alien,” which appeared 21 times or about a quarter of the time. Interestingly enough, “undocumented alien” was the third most common with 18 uses. My preferred term of “illegal immigrant” was used only six times but the term “illegal immigration” was used 93 times, which I didn’t include in the table because it’s not a term that describes individuals.

    It is clear that U.S. law doesn’t have an agreed-upon single legal term for "illegal immigrants." The debate over rhetoric isn’t important and I prefer to use the term “illegal immigrant” because I think that is most commonly used and understood by Americans outside of law and policy. If only language were entirely about the ease of communication!

    It is. Your paper isn't "scholarly". It's written by a teachers assistent.
    I sourced it! You gonna tell me that a teachers assistent is a scholar?

    It isn’t. It’s saying “Nuh uh”. You remain refuted.

    You need to
    1) find a source not written by some dumb teachers assisted but actually a scholar.
    2) answer the question of to what ethnicity you associate with "thug with a badge".

    If you claim a teachers aid wrote a scholarly paper worth something, than good for you, buddy. lol

    While people associate a thug with a badge with a white dude, not black.
