They illegally immigrated, they are illegal immigrants. No thesaurus contains the words to change reality.
What word should I use to virtue signal so you feel better reading?
Undocumented immigrant? Immigrating without documents is an illegal act, making them an illegal immigrant.
Undocumented migrant? That is someone who illegally enters the country to work for a period and return home, with no intention of permanent residence, making them an illegal migrant.
Undocumented Refugee? That is an illegal act of immigration.
Undocumented Asylum Seeker? That is an illegal act of immigration.
How will me using softer language make the situation better for illegals? It won’t make companies stop exploiting them. It won’t give them citizenship. It won’t stop them from risking deportation.
You said “illegals.” You did that on purpose (even making it a point to use the term in almost every single comment you have written in this thread) and now you’re going to the mat to defend it. It’s gross as hell and all your fake appeals to your alleged concern for immigrants in this country is not going to cover up that fact. You’re making this something it isn’t. It’s a shitty term and you shouldn’t use it. If you keep using it you’re being shitty. That’s it. That’s the debate.
And don’t pull that bullshit where you go “not that any of this is that serious.” That went out the window when you wrote your unhinged rant defending a bigoted term used to dehumanize people who immigrate to this country.
I have to ask: Is it really that difficult to not use a borderline slur? Is this really the hill you want to die on? You gonna call a black woman “the DEI hire” too while you’re at it?

And the longest post I’ve run into so far is you being angry that somebody suggested using nice language when talking about large groups of humans.
