Ooooo, OP is being a bigot? That's unfortunate. Here I was giving benefit of the doubt.

Its a little rude but these are illegal immigrants we’re talking about. They dont deserve a lot of respect.

Criminals deserve basic human rights too or all anything a tyrannical government has to do is define you as “illegal” and they can carry you off never to be seen again. With those rights ought to come at least the minimal respect a human life deserves.

Theres a hell of a difference between rude namecalling and not respecting basic human rights.

You don't think all humans are worthy of dignity and respect?
Some would consider that terrible of you.

Not according to the left. Remember when Trump caught Covid and the left wished him death? Or when his brother died and the left cheered?

Can you explain how referring to a human being as "an illegal" can ever not be derogatory? 🤔

Easy it is a label to describe immigration status, like citizen, permanent resident, temporary nonimigrant workers (migrant),…
Immigrating into a country illegally means that person is guess what an illegal immigrant or illegal for short. Your negative views of the word illegal don’t change their status.
