The Library of Congress is phasing out terms that it considers offensive, and in the process is letting liberal opinions dictate the definitions of words long understood in the English language.
As early as May, the Library of Congress will begin revising its subject headings and replacing “Aliens” with “Noncitizens” and heading references to “Illegal aliens” with “Noncitizens” and “Unauthorized immigration.”
“[The Policy and Standards Division of the Library of Congress] concluded that the meaning of Aliens is often misunderstood and should be revised to Noncitizens, and that the phrase illegal aliens has become pejorative,” the Library explained in its Executive Summary about the changes.
“The heading Illegal aliens will therefore be cancelled and replaced by two headings, Noncitizens and Unauthorized immigration, which may be assigned together to describe resources about people who illegally reside in a country,” it added.
Somehow “non-citizen” is more understood then “illegal alien,” even though the term covers legal residents, tourists, illegal aliens, and even people that have no ties to the U.S. This isn’t a move made to make language more precise, it’s PC culture taking over the even the highest educational institutions in the United States of America.
