The terms documented and undocumented are the inventions of our progressive, politically correct government or movement.
They are legal terms. If you have a problem with legal terms that you think were influenced by progressive lawmakers, well that's your problem.

The term illegal alien has been pushed out so as not to cast negative aspersions on those who break laws.
The term, "illegal alien" is hardly pushed out. It's a VERY popular term among the bigots in right-wing media. But it was NEVER a legal term.

Seems like the term undocumented might be giving way to the new term "newcomers" although that has gotten so much criticism as being ridiculous that it may not last.
Yeah, "newcomers" don't make much sense because some people live here for decades as documented immigrants.

You tell us what you believe or don't believe but what about what the Constitution says. Does it say one must have a legitimate job in order to legally vote?
No, I never suggested it did. I was only expressing my personal view on the matter as a believer in meritocracy.

You are making some pretty broad statements about conspiracy theories and how well-educated people should be Democrats or they just aren't worth anything. Would you possibly consider re-reading you statements and giving them a bit more thought?
I would suggest YOU re-read my statements because I never actually said that "well-educated people should be Democrats or they just aren't worth anything." All I said was that well-educated people in the middle-class tend not to vote Republican anymore.
There's plenty of research out there to support that generalization and political analysts in the GOP have even raised this issue as a concern.
This is from NBC News... The article is titled... "GOP faces massive realignment as it sheds college-educated voters"

Personally, I don't think education has changed much in the years since. I think what we see here is evidence that the Republican Party has become more ridiculous and extreme and educated Americans just aren't buying it anymore.
