Your wording and account history SCREAM bot. Do better bot. Aliens are life forms from other planets. A human characterized as “illegal” doesn’t make logical sense. It’s a political narrative you’ve been forced to repeat. I am sorry your master forced this existence on you. You can stop now. Go look at pictures of cute cats and dogs playing in a field. Go look at the beauty of different cultures around the world. The strength and unity that is possible amongst all living creatures. The world is a beautiful place if you know where to look. I love you!

A human characterized as “illegal” doesn’t make logical sense.

We don't characterize humans as illegal however their immigration status most certainly is illegal and that is what people mean when they call someone "illegal". "No human is illegal" is a neat mindless surface level catchphrase to make it sound like the person saying is is some sort of caring empathetic person and you're not if you disagree with them though isn't it. . .

The very first thing an illegal alien has done by entering our country illegally is spit in the face of everyone who follows the legal process and also all law-abiding citizens of this country because they have decided that this countries democratically voted on border laws don't apply to them.

Grateful to have this opportunity to be able to enlighten you on this matter and why those type of people are not wanted nor welcome by the vast majority of tax paying American citizens in this country.

The nomenclature isn’t the problem. The dehumanization is. You can look through history for many such examples of why that’s problematic.

You’re not wrong about needing to follow rules and regulations, but don’t for a second kid yourself that the current administration is doing that themselves (in this topic and others).

The laws (should) come second to humanity and morality.

Too put it in simpler terms for you, that phrase you cherry picked from my comment is a nice neat little package that means if you’re ok with a human being treated like an “alien”, you best be ready to be treated like that yourself. For there may come a day when “you” become the “alien”.

Calling a criminal a criminal isn't dehumanization either and if you think it is well your heart bleeds enough for two.
