Memo to Fox News: Illegal aliens are not “migrants”

The word migrate implies travel, it does not designate an ultimate destination

Fox News launched on October 7, 1996, presenting a unique, conservative alternative to other network programming. As its ratings soared, it soon left the uni-thought organizations in the dust. Its commitment to facts and a conservative perspective provided viewers with an outlook that was abysmally lacking in mainstream political coverage.

Fast forward a couple+ decades and the lines have decidedly blurred as language has intentionally muddled, obscuring facts. This facile switch has happened with such proficiency that we have to remind ourselves that we are the victims of institutionalized trickery.

The standout example is the correct term “illegal alien,” which Fox newscasters, jack booting in lockstep, have recently replaced with “migrants.”

Are Fox newscasters adhering to Biden’s policy implemented in April 2021, which instructed U.S. immigration enforcement agencies to replace the term “illegal alien” (which is used throughout U.S. immigration law) with “undocumented non citizen?”

Hans von Spakovsky, writing for the Heritage Foundation, titled his cogent commentary, “Sorry, but the Accurate Legal Term is ‘Illegal Alien.” The son of two legal immigrants, he is an author and  election law authority appointed by President Donald Trump to the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity in 2017.
