As the issue of immigration has become more prominant in today's society, it is starting to become frowned upon to use the term "illegal immigrant" (Vargas, 2012). And so, we pose the question: what can be another name for "illegal immigrant?"
Well, we asked around, and got some interesting (albeit sometimes slightly offensive) feedback on new ideas instead of the originally coined term. Below are the responses.
