In Texas, though the legislation passed out of committee with support from Republicans and Democrats, it failed to advance any further.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>State Sen. Julie Gonzales (D) of Colorado, who helped pass the legislation, has said that terms like \u201cillegal\u201d are \u201cdehumanizing and derogatory\u201d and thus must not be included in state statutes to describe illegal aliens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat language has been offensive for many people. And some of the rationale behind that is really rooted in this idea that a person can certainly commit an illegal act, but no human being themselves is illegal,\u201d Gonzales said when lobbying for the legislation.<\/p>\n<p>The nationwide effort by Democrats comes as Democrats on the federal level have tried to make similar inroads on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>In January,&nbsp;Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX), along with 11 other members of the House Hispanic Caucus, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/01\/29\/democrats-seek-to-ban-federal-agencies-from-using-illegal-alien-term\/\">filed legislation<\/a> to ban the term \u201calien\u201d from all use by federal agencies. Meanwhile, months later, President Joe Biden\u2019s administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/04\/19\/biden-orders-ice-agents-to-stop-using-terms-illegal-alien-assimilation\/\">banned<\/a> federal immigration agents <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/02\/16\/joe-bidens-dhs-blocks-use-of-terms-illegal-alien-assimilation\/\">from using<\/a> the terms \u201cillegal alien,\u201d \u201cassimilation,\u201d and \u201calien.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) refers to border crossers and illegal aliens as \u201cnon-citizens,\u201d a term that conflates the nation\u2019s illegal alien population with legal immigrants who hold green cards and visas but are not naturalized citizens.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>John Binder is a reporter for Breitbart News.
