JD Vance: 'An Illegal Action From Kamala Harris Doesn't Make an Alien Legal'

There is a term in linguistics called the "drift of the signifieds." In this phenomenon, a symbol remains the same but the meaning attributed to that symbol changes. 

That is, of course, balderdash, as GOP vice presidential contender JD Vance is pointing out.

That's called breaking the law.

These people are not "undocumented," they are not "migrants," they are illegal aliens, and JD Vance is absolutely correct to call them that, no matter how vociferous the left is about his supposed insensitivity.

This is excellent framing, the Harris/Biden regime has not only ignored U.S. immigration but has actually facilitated the illegal entry of thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens.

On the immigration issue, in the United States today, there seems to be an opposite effect holding; the actions by certain people, illegal immigrants, have not changed, but the terms used by the left to describe these illegal invaders have changed - the left calls them "migrants," or even "undocumented residents."
