Inflation is created by money printing. The word "inflation" originates from the Latin word "inflare," meaning "to blow into" or "to inflate." Inflation" comes from the Latin "inflātiō," which is a noun of action derived from the verb "inflare," meaning "to blow into" or "to puff up"
In the context of economics, it is money printed that blows up, as in expansion, the supply of money used within an economy. Illegals don't print legal tender, therefore don't control the supply of money.
ignorantly ignoring how complex an economy is
That is one way to cause inflation, but not the only way.
