Like slaves whose name does not describe them, illegal immigrants bear the burden of public humiliation owing a name that does not accurately describe them. Chalk it up to the obtuseness of the media.
Being human trumps all other descriptions, pejorative or not. And when pejoratives are used the form should revert to whoever is casting the stones. Especially when legal processes are underway to alter status to conform more with democratic values.
