People can’t be illegal. They can be in the country without proper documentation. The _correct_ and _humane_ term is “undocumented”.

This is like calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.

People can't be illegal, but they can do illegal things. I've never liked "illegal alien" or "illegals", but "undocumented noncitizen" seems much less accurate than "illegal immigrant".

I support a path to citizenship and making all forms of immigration more fair, humane and much more widely available. I don't understand the push from some on the left to say that all enforcement of immigration laws should go away.
