My sister-in-law is from Guatemala and crossed legally. So, my brother married a legal.
See how weird that is?
If a person is prosecuted for something illegal, sure, that does make them a criminal. In the right context, we can refer to people as "criminals." But when people use "illegals" they do so generally as a way to demonize.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
I guess like Biden did during the SOTU address.
Or you're just overly PC about such things.

Yeah, that was unfortunate.

Well, that's one way to put it.
Of course they can't completely prevent it.
That would require a massive state border
security network. The problem is the usual
with government, ie, a fraction of the
population will endure ill consequences.

It is! The English language is vast.
Also, being heckled by a Major Trump Gremlin can throw anyone off. It would be nice if he makes some sort of apology. (Even if he thinks it may endear him to those who would use the term.)

I'm not certain being overly "People Caring" is a bad thing.
(See what I did there?)

Speaking of the vast English language, as much as I despise Trump, I can't find any evidence that he has ever used the term "illegals" to describe illegal immigrants or illegal aliens. Can you! I mean, I genuinely cannot and believe me, I've been looking and looking.
There's caring.
And then there's virtue signaling.
Opinions differ about this matter.

Sure. The devil's in the details.
Let's not blame Him.
He just watches in dettached bemusement.

Thank you! It's from 2015 but I do appreciate it. I remember being appalled by Trump running, and at first I really, truly thought it was a joke but it was not!

His evil is to foment fear & hatred with
direct claims, rather than terminology.
He has other terms now, vermin, killers, invaders, and they are poisoning the blood.
Callisto
Hellenismos, BTW
He has no shortage of variations on or repetition for calling them illegals and whatever other incendiary terms that bubbles up from that sludge between his ears.

Not of this world
Boston and Los Angeles aren't Washington DC where Biden's motorcade was blocked.
