    Would you mind breaking down the difference between people who immigrated illegally and illegal immigrants? I’m asking this in good faith because the online discourse has gotten so toxic that I’d like to be able to flag it when I see it.

    My current understanding is that the latter language is dehumanising by describing the person to be illegal in their existence. Usually we would say that someone has done something illegal, not that they themselves are illegal.

    But to those with a short attention span the difference can appear academic.

      Yep.

      In general you want to describe people by adjectives and not label them as nouns ouns.

      Sometimes it’s different because the group wants to be called a noun (Christians) but that was well after they became the majority in Europe and was still used to shit minorities.
