I keep having to say this to both ChatGPT and Grok, which keep defaulting to woke terminology:
After I say that, they will use the correct "illegal alien" term for a while, but then inevitably shift back to wokeness.
It is extremely offensive to use the manipulative term "undocumented" when referring to illegal aliens, as if their only problem is a lack of documentation, rather than the fact that they have no legal right to be in the country at all. This demeans legal immigrants above all, those who have followed US law to be here.

I heard Schumer on radio saying if I get sick government is the reason. AI is giving free "advice" whether we want it or not.

Using Brave search:
The term "illegal alien" is a statutory and legal designation used in some countries to describe a noncitizen who is present in the United States without legal authorization.
It refers to individuals who have entered the country without inspection at a port of entry, overstayed a valid visa, or violated the terms of their legal status.
Under U.S. immigration law, an "alien" is defined as any person who is not a U.S. citizen or national, and the term "illegal alien" specifically identifies those whose presence is in violation of immigration laws.
While the term is still used in official documents by agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, it is increasingly considered outdated and dehumanizing due to its association with criminality and its connotations from historical anti-immigration policies.
Many advocates and organizations now prefer the terms "undocumented immigrant" or "unauthorized immigrant" as more accurate and less stigmatizing descriptors

Oldschool wetback: lol
The term "wetback" is a derogatory and offensive slur used primarily in the United States to refer to foreign nationals, most commonly Mexicans, who enter the country illegally, particularly by crossing the Rio Grande River, which is the U.S.-Mexico border, often by swimming or wading, thereby getting their back wet in the process.
The term gained official prominence during "Operation Wetback," a large-scale U.S. government initiative launched in June 1954 under President Dwight D. Eisenhower and led by General Joseph May Swing of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).
This operation aimed to deport undocumented Mexican immigrants, resulting in the apprehension and deportation of over one million individuals, although estimates of the actual number range lower, with some sources suggesting around 300,000.
The campaign, which involved federal, state, and local authorities and was justified by concerns over job competition, crime, and public health, had devastating impacts on Mexican American communities, including family separations and the deportation of U.S. citizens of Mexican descent, and its legacy continues to influence immigration policy and discourse.

“Biden” gamed the granting of refuge status to illegals, which opened the door for all sorts of grift.
But it seems obvious to me that if ACA funds are decreased, the state of California would be pressured to cut its state program of free medical care for illegals:
