Lately, there has been quite a debate regarding immigration, specifically illegal immigration. The differing sides of this debate cannot even concede on the words used to describe illegal immigrants – or undocumented workers. Doing our part to try and get the actual debate going, we have created a list of alternate descriptions of those in question. Here is the list:

• Illegal immigrants
• Undocumented workers
• Misdirected migrant workers
• Geographically challenged workers
• Legally misinterpreted immigrants
• Transitional status persons
• Members of the Mexican Society of Latitudinal Miscalculations
• Displaced Mexican workers
• Society for the Preservation of Traditional Mexican Borders
• Society for fictional borders
• Mexican Citizens against the enforcement of border policies
• Misplaced workers
• Incorrectly documented workers
• Migrants without Maps
• Mexicans without borders

Finally, since everyone loves acronyms these days, we propose:
