I don't have a problem with using the term "Illegal" but I have a problem with using the term "immigrant" because under U.S. law and international law these illegal aliens are not "immigrants."
IMMIGRATION:
Immigration by definition is the legal process of an immigrant openly, honestly and with the consent of the government immigrates from ones native land to another sovereign country with the intent of permanent residence.
Under U.S. statue, anyone who is not a U.S. citizen is an alien. Be they in the country with a tourist visa, work visa, business visa or immigrant visa they all are aliens.
Anyone who allows their visa to expire or enters the country illegally without a visa is an Illegal Alien.
There is one other term that can be found in U.S. statue to use instead of "illegal alien", "Unauthorized alien."
