Biden Expresses Regret for Calling an Undocumented Immigrant “an Illegal”

Eo_1-1-1200x1200

 for the New York Times reports that President Biden expressed regret yesterday for using the word “illegal” to describe an undocumented immigrant who has been charged in the killing of a 22-year-old nursing student in Georgia   Biden used the word during daring his State of the Union address on earlier this week.   He “came under fire from immigration supporters who consider the term dehumanizing. Among those who said he should not have used it were several congressional Democrats.”

I must admit that a few immigration law professors texted me during the speech about Biden'[s language.
