As we pointed out here and Monica Novoa pointed out here, Jose Antonio Vargas came out in the pages of the New York Times Magazine as an undocumented immigrant. In that piece and in some follow-ups, he seems to be aware of the distinction between “undocumented” and “illegal.” His Times piece was headlined, “My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant.” That is the term he used in the article.
It is completely inexplicable, then, that the magazine chose this headline for the Vargas letters this weekend:
I, Illegal Immigrant
They were just going for alliteration…or the use of the same letter because that makes a headline creative! I see the same thing on Sportscenter just about every night. Not that it makes it okay at all. Just saying.
What else do you call an â┚¬Ã…“immigrantâ┚¬Ã‚ who came into the country â┚¬Ã…“illegallyâ┚¬Ã‚Â?
