‘Newcomers’ is the new politically correct term being used by President Joe Biden and his staff, who were being ripped for it ahead of Biden’s trip to the border in Brownsville, Texas.
The new term showed up quietly on a “fact sheet” on the White House website.
A $118-billion Senate border and foreign aid deal – including $20 billion on border security measures – fell apart earlier this month to the ire of the Biden administration.
According to an exclusive report from the U.K.’s Daily Mail, the fact sheet states that the bill would provide $1.4 billion in help to “cities and states who are providing critical services to newcomers, and would expedite work permits for people who are in the country and qualify.”

Lawmakers quickly started slamming the White House for using the “misleading” term “newcomers” for migrants, the Daily Mail reported.
The White House is using “such dishonest and misleading language” to trick Americans, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., exclusively told DailyMail.com.
Americans “universally oppose providing billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens,” the chairman explained.
“Illegal aliens” is the legal term to describe individuals who do not immigrate through legal and official channels into the U.S.
