The Milwaukee paper usually uses the term "undocumented" immigrant or worker... I'll have to check out those other sites more often. I know Daily Kos is an important blog - but I get sort of annoyed reading it, so I stopped. :) Yeah, I do like how you use the term migrants – I am definitely annoyed with people saying – ‘they are “illegal immigrants” not “undocumented workers”‘ – sort of the same deal.

I hear you on the necessity of the term migrant. I was just tired of having the conversation, "they're illegal immigrants NOT migrants." Since I prefer the term I had to defend it. It also makes it easier to say a group is anti-migrant or pro-migrant. I just think it shifts the debate closer to reality is all. I really appreciate your support regarding these lessons. Some forums have been downright hostile to them. I've all but lost my footing on Blue Mass. Group. People on Daily Kos are divided. Thanks again for posting these. Much Love Hey Laura,
