The latest winner is the Diversity Committee of the Society of Professional Journalists -- who don't want to offend the alien invaders who violate our nation's sovereignty with impunity.
The Diversity Committee of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) is seeking to “inform and sensitize” reporters nationwide about how “offensive” the term “illegal immigrant” is to Latinos.Diversity Committee member Leo Laurence announced the campaign against “illegal immigrant” and “illegal alien” terminology in the latest issue of the organization’s magazine, Quill, writing that those who have not obtained citizenship but have entered the country without any prior approval should be called “undocumented workers” or “undocumented immigrants.”
In his report, Laurence quotes SPJ Diversity Committee chairman George Daniels as saying, “this is not about being politically correct,” but about aiming to “minimize harm,” when reporting. When Daniels says “minimize harm,” he is referring to one of the major tenets of SPJ’s code of ethics, which many journalists nationwide follow.
You know what? Folks who illegally enter the United States in violation of our nation's laws and sovereignty and then compound their offense by working here in violation of the law and consuming a great many taxpayer supported services offend me and the vast majority of other Americans -- but the SPJ doesn't care about us being offended -- or the negative impact on the United States of the border-jumping immigration criminals who continue to invade the United States.
UPDATE: Excellent editorial from the Washington Times smacking down the SPJ Diversity committee.
UPDATE 2: Looks like the SPJ is backing away from this with a disclaimer added to the article:
CLARIFICATION: The following article is an opinion piece and does not reflect the views of SPJ, its membership or its Diversity Committee. The committee itself has taken no official initiative on the use of the phrase “illegal immigrant.”
You've got to read the post at Patterico's Pontifications that notes this -- it has an absolutely devastating argument against the so-called "constitutional argument" against using "illegal alien".

|| Posted by Doc Killian, December 30, 2010 04:52 PM ||A journalist collects and disseminates information about current events,
people, trends, and issues OF THEIR CHOOSING, and recently a lot of
"journalists" are being told to change what they refer to "Illegal Immigrants"
as. In this age of Political Correctness, are we to IGNORE the FACTS?
When someone comes into The United States"without Permission", Then
they have BROKEN THE LAW, thus the term, ILLEGAL ! If they came
here LEGALLY on a visa and it has EXPIRED, Then again THE LAW HAS
BEEN BROKEN, AGAIN THEY ARE HERE ILLEGALLY
As to "ILLEGAL" being referred to as "UNDOCUMENTED", THAT is
UNTRUE !
1. If you look at 2010 Census. The REASON I am
including that is that the Census took great time and effort to make sure
that ILLEGALS WERE DOCUMENTED
2. When an Illegal works and uses forged, stolen or misrepresented
paperwork, Then they are in fact DOCUMENTED
AND THIS IS The Second Part of being Illegal and THIS constitutes
FRAUD, so They have BROKEN THE
LAW TWICE NOW...SO FAR
3. Every Government Agency, News Source or Outlet, Economist, and
Social and Civil Agency that has an AGENDA to gain from Illegal Immigrants
Numbers are also to some extent, DOCUMENTING THEM. So to say that
they are Undocumented is Preposterous!
Now to the fact of "WORKER"
I will use the clearest example of this Being Untrue
President Obamas Aunt came here Illegally and was "ORDERED DEPORTED".
She was Here ILLEGALLY (and I might add, in taxpayer funded Public
Housing) She was NOT,,,,UNDOCUMENTED"
and she certainly was NEVER
a "WORKER". Since she has been granted Amnesty she is currently
supported completely by U.S. Taxpayers AND is currently recieving "DISABILITY"
From Social Security (But REMEMBER THE FACT THAT NOT ONLY HAS
SHE NEVER WORKED SHE HAS ALSO NEVER PAYED INTO THE SYSTEM
THAT WILL SUPPORT HER FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE)
Had it not been for PRESIDENT OBAMA, SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEPORTED
AS AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT
NOT , the Politically Corrected version of UNDOCUMENTED WORKER
THATS MY OPINION
