No human is illegal. They are undocumented if they're in the country having bypassed the legal entry process (although MAGA uses it for every non-white resident who *could* be from another country). Please don't echo the hateful MAGA term.

PS: this is how they win, when we end up adopting their framing of the situation. REFRAME.
