“Okay. With you. People sold into bondage, shipped to another country against their will are immigrants.”

With you, emotion trumps logic.

They were subject to forced immigration.

The word is accurate. It’s understandably not commonly used in this context and seems incongruous. But it is techically accurate.

You want to deny the meaning of words because of your emotions.

You also want to use it to deride an honorable person.
