Undocumented Immigrant

An immigrant is "a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence." (Merriam Webster) According to the Department of Homeland Security, "A Green Card holder (permanent resident) is someone who has been granted authorization to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis. As proof of that status, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) grants a person a permanent resident card, commonly called a "Green Card.""

"Undocumented Immigrants" do not have a green card and have not taken steps to obtain status as residents of the United States and therefore they are not immigrants. The term immigrant is used as a way to mock people who enter the United States illegally as nonresidents.
The Undocumented Immigrant is not eligible for unemployment benefits because he is not a legal resident of the United States.

undocumented immigrant

Human beings trying to make a decent living. Most actually do pay taxes, contrary to what most Americans think. Trying to kick them all out would be another "war on drugs," or "war on terror" style failure and a huge waste of money and "political capital."
An undocumented immigrant deserves a chance to become a citizen.
