The word mentally Retarded was a medical term for a long time too but it's no
Longer appropriate. Intellectually disabled is now the appropriate label. Terms change and that is not a bad thing

You mean an "undocumented person"? They aren't aliens. Degrading term

You as an immigration attorney should know that the term "illegal alien" is how

You can't have a personal definition on terms, though

"Alien" means "foreigner". "Person" does not mean "foreigner".

Because they are required to have the right documentation.

Official BYU policy is that you need legal status to be admitted.
Mexicancougar
9/13/17 9:30am
So they should be dishonest to get admitted to BYU?

Among other things, citizenship status controls eligibility for financial aid.

Many people confuse "citizenship" with "permanent residence" (i.e. green cards).
