Many media organizations in radio, print and broadcast have banned the use of the term "illegal alien" in their converage. Some have even officially codified these types of policies in their style manuals. Using the term "undocumented workers" seems the be the hippest way to refer to illegal immigrants nowadays (as if the lack of certain pieces of paper is the most noteworthy identifying characteristic of illegal aliens - not the fact that they are, by definition, lawbreakers). I wonder if we can get to these same organizations to start saying "President Bush's uncodumented wiretapping program..."
