    Today, I introduced the CHANGE Act, legislation that will eliminate the words "alien" and "illegal alien" from government expression. Words matter. And those words only work to demonize and dehumanize the migrant community. Full statement ⬇️pic.twitter.com/1bfTlMlxd5

        Of course you would! How about eliminating it in Spanish since the literal translation is "extraterrestre" and hence why some latinos think the word is weird, not offensive. While you're at it, why not include another adjective, "extranjero" which loosely translates to foreigner.

        Finally, since words matter, why not eliminate the term "illegal foreigner" and "illegal immigrant". I think with that you'd cover all the bases and feel real good about yourself.
