Trump's DHS compares term ‘undocumented immigrant’ to ‘they/them’ pronouns, defends ‘alien’

The Department of Homeland Security tweeted on Wednesday that the term "undocumented immigrant" is the political equivalent of "they/them" pronouns.

"DHS has no interest in the left’s open borders pronouns," the department said in its statement.

DHS said "alien" is the technical and legal term for what are also called illegal immigrants in the press. "Illegal" is the only way to correctly describe lawbreakers, the agency added.

"Next thing you know you will be calling burglars ‘undocumented houseguests,’" said the statement.
