Why Is It So Important Not to Offend Those Breaking Our Laws?

The federal government, when under the control of the right people, enacts a series of directives to the bureaucracy mandating that language.

All those efforts have by now so normalized said language to the broader American culture that real pressure can then be applied to members of the U.S. Congress to write such language into federal law.

A memo urging "More inclusive language in the agency's outreach efforts, internal documents and in overall communication with stakeholders, partners, and general public." What did Renaud define as "More inclusive language?" The term "Illegal alien" should be replaced with "Undocumented noncitizen" or "Undocumented individual." Instead of "Assimilation," USCIS officials should use "Integration or civic integration."

That state representatives are making a full-court press with bills that follow the lead of USCIS and drop terms like "Illegal alien" for language that is "Not dehumanizing." Colorado State Senator Julie Gonzalez, co-sponsor of one such bill, argued for the eradication of language currently in state laws.

While the merits of that law have long been subject to debate, no one complained at the time that such language was "Dehumanizing" to those who might commit sedition against the country.

Activists like Julie Gonzales acknowledge that those here illegally have committed illegal acts, so why are we supposed to be so worried about hurting the feelings of those who are breaking our laws? A similar.

At a time when tens of thousands of migrants are massing on our border and demanding entry, the effort to soften our language is the political equivalent of fiddling while Rome burns.
