Define American is a left-of-center illegal immigration advocacy organization. Define American was incubated by the fiscal sponsorship pass-through group NEO Philanthropy. 1

The group aims to discourage the use of the term “illegal alien” to describe non-citizens living the United States illegally in favor of the term “undocumented immigrant.” Define American encourages illegal immigrants to advertise their status as non-citizens living illegally in the country. 2
