It’s part of liberals trying to control what other people think by controlling what they say and read.
The reason why news outlets aren’t allowed to say “immigrant” anymore is because college-educated liberals don’t want people who oppose immigration to have words to support their case.
I say this as someone who loves immigration. The policing of language by the left does more harm than good and only serves to feed the egos of slacktivists, not actually change the world in any meaningful way.
It’s because the word migrant makes no assumption on their intention. We only know they were migrating. We have no idea if they are immigrating or returning, or visiting temporarily. It’s not politically correct, it’s literally correct.
I am a college-educated liberal. On behalf of all our kind, I hereby officially grant news outlets and “other people” lifetime permission to use the word “immigrant” whenever someone is immigrating, e.g. because they have said they are doing so.
I did my own research and found nothing along the lines of what you’re saying, sorry. Unless you provide a news article source we have literally no idea what you’re talking about and none of us are convinced of what you’re saying.
Just so we’re clear, you think news outlets don’t use the word “migrant” in place of “immigrant” when the subject(s) is question are known to be immigrants or trying to immigrate?
I don’t know, never seen it but I have an open mind. The burden of proof is on the claimant, that is you. The default position is “I don’t know”, not yes or no. Your question, “yes or no” is known as a false dichotomy, a logical fallacy that is not convincing to me.
I claim there is a teacup flying around Saturn. Do you believe there is a teacup around Saturn without evidence? If you answer “no” do you need prove it? What proof do you require from me to believe the claim?

Press X to doubt.

News outlets will use migrant even if we know they are immigrants.
Sorry, you’re incorrect.

Do your own research.
If you’re trying to say that it doesn’t happen, then say it so we can all laugh at your willful ignorance.

A simple yes or no will suffice.
