Incorrect. While numerous Supreme Court decisions use “illegal alien” they do not do so exclusively, e.g., Plyler v. Doe (1981) uses, at a minimum, all of (directly, ignoring uses that occur only in quoted material, and consistently reflecting singular though some terms are used in both singular and plural, and some only plural, forms) “illegal alien”, “undocumented child”, “undocumented alien”, “undocumented resident alien”, and “illegal entrant”.
