Top Homeland Dem lashes out at Republicans for bill's use of 'aliens' to refer to migrants
Fox News
Ranking Member Bennie Thompson criticized Homeland Security Republicans for using the word "alien" to describe noncitizens in its border security package on Wednesday.
"The bill never misses an opportunity to call fellow human beings ‘aliens,’" he said. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
He linked the language to the espousal on the right of the "Great Replacement" theory -- the idea that left-wing lawmakers and others in power are seeking to replace the native population of a country via mass immigration with those from abroad who are believed to be more likely to vote for them.
