Original Note:
“undocumented immigrant” is a euphemism suggesting that the issue is the lack of proper documentation, implying a bureaucratic oversight. This obscures that these migrants have violated immigration laws by either entering Canada without authorization or overstayed visas. https://www.fairus.org/sites/default/files/2018-07/IssueBrief_Illegal-Alien-is-the-Correct-Term.pdf https://www.alexnowrasteh.com/p/euphemisms-in-the-immigration-debate https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration
