It is not the human that is illegal, just because their entry into the country was.
Words matter. Specificity matters. Dehumanizing propaganda matters.

A person who entered the country illegally is not incorrectly (even if roughly) abbreviated as an "illegal alien", since alien is a designation for "person of a foreign country" in this case. It's true this can be misused, but it's also true I don't think OP misused it or intended to, and even if it could be interpreted as a rough slight, I'd prefer we took the charitable stance, evaluated intent in context, and stayed out of semantics and focused on the issue (in this case whether such individuals receive funded health care benefits).
That's really it. If you disagree and think this was the time to call that out, that's ok, I just disagree and don't have anything more to say on it. Cheers.
You're only trying to say that it means "his humanity is against the law" to stigmatize people who care about law enforcement.
If the term "illegal migrant" offends them then that's a good thing, because you should be ashamed when you break the law.
When you call an illegal a "undocumented migrant" you're essentially downplaying the illegality of the act. It's just as bad as calling a rapist an "undocumented lover". You're de-stigmatizing breaking the law.
