WASHINGTON - Illegal immigrants are no more.
At least according to the Associated Press Stylebook, which is a grammar, word usage and spelling bible for journalists.
The Associated Press announced Tuesday that the term "illegal immigrants" was no longer accurate, nor acceptable for use in the wire service's stories.
Instead, reporters are to say a person entered the country illegally or without legal permission and are to include details describing from where a person entered the country illegally and how - did they overstay a visa or cross the border. The word "illegal" should describe only an action, not an individual, the AP says.

Last I checked, the AP reported the news, not defined it.
