Its is about “illegals” and not about “people who immigrated illegally”

???

"An illegal" is literally slang for "a person who immigrated illegally". They are expressing the same exact thing.

Yes, the same exact thing ... as the other person is saying is bad and wrong. They're calling people illegal.

No, they aren't, it's just shorthand.

That's like saying that calling someone a "thief" is equivalent to asserting that that person is stolen. Actually pay attention to the absurd logic twisting you are employing here.

Yes, conservatives DO use bad logic when they call people "illegals", I'm glad we agree on that, even if you do not understand it.
