The Biden administration has ordered the country’s immigration enforcement agencies to stop using terms like “alien” and “illegal” to refer to migrants entering the U.S.

, the Biden administration has ordered the agencies to swap out “alien” for “noncitizen or migrant,” and “illegal” for ““In response to the vision set by the Administration, ICE will ensure agency communications use the preferred terminology and inclusive language,” Acting ICE director Tae Johnson wrote in one of the memos.

The change is a necessary one, to be sure. No government agency should ever invoke the dehumanizing language Trump administration officials used to refer to undocumented immigrants. But while many things have changed under Biden’s new leadership—on his he halted construction of Trump’s border wall, ended the Muslim ban, and directed the Department of Homeland Security to strengthen protections for Dreamers—these words continue to be little more than window dressing forthe administration’s decision to maintain the refugee cap Trump established as president, despite caving to backlash the week before and agreeing to raise the quota by May 15.

Catholic Bishops Might Ice Out Biden From Receiving Communion Because He's Pro-AbortionThe Lord be with you, and also with Joe Biden who is potentially facing a sternly worded letter from bishops across the US. The AP reports that when Catholic bishops meet in June, they’ll have a rather odd item on their agenda: “deciding whether to send a tougher-than-ever message” to President Biden (and other Catholic politicians) by forcing them to stop taking communion if they are even moderately pro-abortion. The Catholic church believes that life begins at conception, so abortion at any stage is against their interpretation of God’s will—as is contraception, even for married people, which is why the fictional Catholic Elliot Stabler has five children on a cop’s salary. Seriously Jezebel? He’s not pro abortion he’s pro choice do better Note the large number of predator priests who have not been defrocked and excommunicated. That would be a very daft thing for them to do .
