    Undocumented means they are illegally here, they have no immigration documents.

    Not migrants, who are here to work for a period legally and then return home.

    Not refugees, who have been granted a protected status as a refugee from their home country and will stay if they are good citizens.

    Not green card holders, who have permanent residence but aren’t full citizens and may choose to become a naturalized citizen if they aren’t criminals.

    Calling a homeless person unhoused does not mean they aren’t homeless, just as calling someone who bypasses the lawful immigration process an undocumented migrant doesn’t change the fact that they are here illegally. Making up new soft language does not change the reality, all it does is make you feel better by virtue signaling through language and push people away from the moral cause due to brow beating.
