The dehumanizing language and myths around immigration
[rebelmouse-image 24749627 original_size="600x400" expand=1]This week, I was doing some research on the surge in rhetoric about repealing the 14th amendment for the podcast,* and I have to admit that even I was astounded to hear how Fox News' preferred nomenclature for people who immigrate here without going through the green card/citizenship channels is "illegals". Just "illegals". Not "illegal immigrants", and of course not "undocumented immigrants" or "undocumented workers".
