Almost all of them were in an uproar after Biden used the term “illegal” in the SOTU and didn’t use the word “undocumented.” Funny…Joe has quickly walked that back and apologized for his misuse of the word to describe Jose Ibarra. However, he hasn’t apologized for mispronouncing Laken Riley as “Lincoln Riley.”
I thought this was a good clip from Erick Erickson’s Substack this morning I was reading and describes the issue the left is so adamant about quite nicely…
“ A whole lot of Americans are not just tired of the word games of the left but also tired of Democrats using phrases like “undocumented immigrant” to describe people who illegally cross into the United States of America.
The fact is Jose Ibarra, Laken Riley’s murderer, was not undocumented. He was well-documented. We know when he crossed the border. We know where he committed crimes repeatedly, only for progressives to turn a blind eye. And we know that the ongoing failures of progressive policies enabled him to kill Laken Riley.
Jose Ibarra was a very well-documented illegal alien. Still, people like Jonathan Capehart and the progressive viewers of MSNBC get their panties in wads when people speak like real Americans about these issues.”
So yes, for the left…I guess he wasn’t “illegal” but a well-documented “illegal.”
