Trump To Ban 2 Words?

Democrats will not like this whatsoever!

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his second term, one of his first actions could be to reverse the Biden administration’s politically motivated ban on using the term “illegal alien.” This term, which has been part of U.S. immigration law for decades, has become a point of contention under the Biden administration, which seeks to replace it with euphemisms like “undocumented immigrant”.

Advisers to Trump’s transition team, particularly those working on homeland security issues, have already started discussions about returning to the use of “illegal alien.” This shift would mark a stark departure from the Biden administration’s stance and restore clarity to immigration discussions. A former high-ranking immigration official, involved in advising Trump’s team, confirmed that the change was being considered, emphasizing that all politically correct language surrounding immigration would be revisited under a new administration.

Many Republicans and conservatives have long felt that the language used by the Biden administration muddles the issue of illegal immigration. The term “illegal alien,” while legally precise, was replaced in 2021 with terms like “noncitizen” and “migrant” following pressure from progressive factions within the Democratic Party. This change was part of an overall push to reframe the immigration debate, but many border patrol agents and immigration experts, such as former ICE field office director John Fabbricatore, argue that the new terminology only serves to obfuscate the reality of illegal immigration.

Fabbricatore, who is considered a leading candidate to head ICE under a second Trump administration, has publicly supported the return to the term “illegal alien.” He points out that the term is neutral and factual, without the racial or cultural implications critics often claim. Moreover, it reflects existing U.S. immigration law, a law that Biden’s euphemistic language has tried to change despite no congressional support for such a shift.

This issue became particularly contentious when President Biden himself slipped up during his State of the Union address, inadvertently using the term “illegal” after the tragic death of a young woman. His attempt to walk back the comment, calling for the term to be “undocumented” instead, highlighted the ongoing tension between legal clarity and political correctness in the immigration debate.

As Trump returns to the White House in 2025, we can expect a sharp reversal in the administration’s approach to illegal immigration, starting with language that reflects the realities of the border crisis and reinforces the importance of securing America’s sovereignty. The return to “illegal alien” would be a key symbolic and practical shift in Trump’s broader immigration reform agenda, aligning the language used by the federal government with the laws already in place.
