So the AP is going to stop calling illegal immigrants “illegal immigrants” and instead call them something else — and I don’t think it will be the more accurate “illegal alien.”
Anyway, here is my idea for a compromise term: deportables. Because they’re people we could deport if we wanted to. We probably won’t — we certainly haven’t been — but we could. So they’re deportables.
What you think?
Years ago in school, I had many classes in deportables. I hated them.
“criminal foreigners” works for me.

I prefer Jay Leno’s suggestion of “undocumented Democrats”.
My immigrant wife — who recently became a US citizen — seems to be OK with “line jumpers.”
…is it still politically correct to call black guns “high powered assault weapons”? Kinda racist isn’t it?
…for the record – my parents and I stood in line back in the 70’s – we waited 2 years before we even got permission to set foot inside the U.S. and another 5 before we could take the test…which we all took in English. Today, we’re unhyphenated Americans.

We could call them “wetbacks” like Eisenhower did.

“Deportables” –Sounds like the makins’ of a “frank the artist” comic strip.
Parasitic-Americans (need not apply only to those born elsewhere).
@20 – I think that if “The Deportables” were made into a movie, it would be better than “The Expendables”.
