    There’s a thing called illegal immigration, or people who immigrated illegally.

    But Illegal immigrants aren’t a thing.

    And it looks like OP didn’t just copy the headline or article:

    Headline:

    Majority of Hispanics Now Favor Mass Deportation

    Article:

    A recent poll found that a majority of Hispanic people favor the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.

    The CBS News/YouGov poll found that a majority of registered voters overall (62 percent) would favor the government starting “a new national program to deport all undocumented immigrants currently living in the U.S. illegally.” Thirty-eight percent said they would oppose it.

    So OP, can you edit your title to remove the racially loaded language?

      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.
