I've seen on news reports and social media for the last two years calling people that unlawfully travel into the US "migrants". I could have sworn that they used to be referred to as "illegal immigrants" or "illegal aliens". Very strange. Does anyone know what's going on?

The whole “illegal immigrant/illegal alien” became coded as a rightoid dogwhistle term in like 2014 by progressives so now they are all migrants or undocumented.
