They ALWAYS leave out the ILLEGAL part. It’s on purpose, and they think you don’t notice. I despise the left. /spit

Well, you fell into their English bastardization trap as well *shrug*. They’re “(criminal) illegal ALIENS”
Immigrants, like my (g)grand-parents, follow the Law.
‘Aliens’, not so much.
There’s no conflating the 2 w/ a mere adjective.

‘Immigrant’ implies legality. This isn’t even CLOSE to 1:1

I'll concede. I thought she had mentioned illegal, but reviewing it again, she had not. So, you are correct they are using immigrant, because it is designed to provide that she is against all immigration.
However, even legal immigration is only deemed legal by whomever conrols the government. When they do not vett the immigrant, then even the legal immigrant may be an unwated immigrant.
