Original Note:
"undocumented" is a euphemism shifting the focus from the illegal status of individuals who have broken a country’s laws to their lack of immigration documents. This linguistic choice is misleading framing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration https://www.raceforward.org/sites/default/files/DTIW_Stylebook.pdf https://www.scu.edu/ethics/focus-areas/more-focus-areas/immigration-ethics/immigration-ethics-resources/immigration-ethics-blog/words-matter-illegal-immigrant-undocumented-immigrant-or-unauthorized-immigrant/
