Do you agree with Rosa's claim that the choice to use the term 'illegal' or the term 'undocumented' carries additional meaning beyond the simple dictionary definition of the words? Why or why not?

    I agree.

    Explanation:

    If you look in a dictionary, the word "illegal" means "that which does not obey the law", "that which disobeys". If you look at the word "undocumented" you will see the meaning "what has a document", "what is not legal". However, socially, these words have a much greater weight and meaning, especially when related to immigrants. This is because these words reflect a feeling of aversion, when used to characterize an immigrant, they say reflect a bad denotation, making the immigrant be seen as a villain, a destroyer, a disobedient, someone who will do bad things.
