Original Note:
The term "Dreamers" for illegal migrants is a semantic trick evoking innocence and aspiration, simplifying an issue to garner sympathy and support from soccer moms. This euphemism obscures legal realities, framing the narrative to favor those who should be deported. https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwell/essays-and-other-works/politics-and-the-english-language/ https://www.nydailynews.com/2019/12/02/get-immigration-terms-straight-for-starters-so-called-dreamers-are-aliens-and-theyre-not-undocumented/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_Action_for_Childhood_Arrivals
