Illegal as a noun
Illegal being turned into a noun is by far the most ruthlessly effective way to dehumanize and demonize an entire group of people, which is why it is propagated by mass media and politicians to vilify these people as outsiders and aggressors of the state to justify the systematic abuse and exploitation these people are faced with on a daily basis.
Human-beings can’t be illegal. Don’t use the term.
Calling a person “illegal” is hatemongering.
Don’t be a hatemonger.
Would love it if my parents could see this…
