The late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an icon among American liberals, used language in official writings that the top border protection chief on Monday banned from use when describing illegal immigrants.
Immigration officials now must use new, “inclusive” terminology to describe the border-crossers. The directive was issued April 19 by Troy Miller, who is acting as commissioner of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency. According to Miller’s directive, the term “alien” is banned, and has been replaced by “noncitizen or migrant.” Also off-limits is the phrase “illegal alien,” which is supplanted by “undocumented noncitizen, undocumented individual, or migrant.”
Miller couched the directive as fulfilling the wishes of President Joe Biden, and as conferring dignity on migrants. Implicit in the memo was the suggestion that longtime language, codified in U.S. law, is improper, and that it deprives migrants of dignity.
The language issue emerged only recently, and was not raised by Ginsburg, who was known to be a stalwart of liberal causes. Ginsburg, who supported same-sex weddings, abortion rights, and gender equality, also heard cases involving people who entered the U.S. illegally. In those cases, she did not flinch in her use of language.
In one such case, she joined two other justices in an opinion regarding a 2003 ruling on an Immigration and Naturalization Service case against immigrant Hyung Joon Kim.
In the opinion, Ginsburg and her colleagues appeared sympathetic toward the respondent Kim. They also used the term “alien” 154 times, along with the terms “illegal entrants” and “unlawful.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
