Hey there! Love the show and love everyone that's on it. I did want to call out that in this episode, during the story about the Coalition for the American Dream, Sarah used the term "illegal immigrant". The most accurate term is "undocumented immigrant" for a couple of reasons. 1. Modifying "immigrant" with the word "illegal" implies that a person is illegal. That is not the case. No person is inherently illegal. 2. The term "illegal immigrant" perpetuates the myth that unlawful presence is criminal. Unlawful presence in the US is a civil offense. Unlawful entry is a misdemeanor (and this a criminal offense). Considering most undocumented immigrants enter the country legally and overstay their visas, they are not criminals. I know this is a lot, and that it might seem silly. But the continued use of this term impacts people more than you'd think. Thanks for reading.

Hey just wanted to say thank you. Up until now I didn't actually know there was a difference. I'd generally been avoiding the topic as I knew very little and it did not knowingly directly effect me.
