Undocumented immigrants?
KTRK-13 reports on an apparent human smuggling/dumping in West University:
Residents in West University witnessed a chaotic and unsettling scene as close to 100 undocumented immigrants were released in their neighborhood.
It happened just after 4:30pm Tuesday. Police say a U-Haul truck pulled up to the intersection of Cason and Wakeforest and unloaded the undocumented immigrants.
When did the term "undocumented immigrants" displace "illegal aliens" in popular writing?
That's not especially a new question, but if anyone can point to exactly when the switch took place, I'd appreciate it.
UPDATE: The Chronicle story refers to "illegal immigrants."
