Angelo Paparelli writes: "Times and phrasings have changed. We would never refer to people of color today, as "colored" -- the term generally used in the 1950s for African-Americans and other non-Caucasians. So, "aliens" -- the word -- must go. We should also drop the term "nonimmigrant" from our statutory lexicon because it defines by negation and suggests an inhospitable negativity.

Paparelli, Dec. 16, 2012.
