Some people seem to be under the delusion that calling a child born out of wedlock a bastard is “shaming language”. Those people don’t know what shaming language is: It’s a type of propaganda that is meant to manipulate. What I propose is the radical idea that we STOP using propaganda and return to truth.
I am reminded of the divide between those who say illegal alien and those who say undocumented worker, or Dreamer, or any other manipulative except the plain truth that the person in reference is 1) an outsider 2) here illegally.
Things that We have Heard and Known 
I always thought Trumps rephrasing of illegal alien into criminal alien was a beautiful bit of underrated persuasion, to use the Scott Adams term.
M.,
If I’m not mistaken, a criminal alien is an alien who has committed a crime unrelated to his status as foreigner.

Alan,
All I know is that he was using it to describe illegal immigrants.
