"Undocumented worker" is a garbage PC term when it is used to mean "illegal immigrant." It shouldn't mean the same thing, since not all illegal immigrants are undocumented workers, and yet people use it like it does.

However, even worse is using the term "illegal" without the term "immigrant" added to it. It's fine to say that people immigrated illegally if they did, but calling them "illegals" smacks of xenophobia. People aren't illegal.

Let's just say "illegal immigrant" please.
