Is it “illegal immigrant” or “undocumented immigrant”?
The choice to use one of these terms to describe the same person has been called a political act by some, but news organizations like the AP and the New York Times stand by the choice to use “illegal immigrant.”
Take Two examines what’s at stake in the fight over a word.
Guests:
Jose Antonio Vargas, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, founder of the site Define American, and an undocumented immigrant, and Julia Preston, immigration reporter for The New York Times.
