Is “illegals” supposed to be “people without permits”?
I’m a bit suprised to see that phrasing used on lemmy, it’s incredibly dehumanising.

Actually the preferred term is illegal aliens. I omit the latter because calling a human being an alien is the actual dehumanising part. Spare me the insipid fuckin moralisation.

I think “illegals” is just as dehumanising as “illegal aliens”.
I think “undocumented migrants” or “unofficial migrants” or “people without residency” etc would be better.
