Associated Press Style Guide, Undocumented Citizens Terminology
The Associated Press and certain political figures like Rahm Emanuel have begun using the term "undocumented citizens" to describe illegal immigrants. The hosts argue this is a factually incorrect use of the word "citizen" and represents a propaganda effort to normalize the lack of national borders. They note that while the official AP style guide may not have changed, the practical usage in reporting has shifted.
