I’m not sure why I’m on this semantic argument with people. I agree with you it’s illegal, wrong, a Democratic Party ploy etc etc.
The definition of a migrant is:
1.
a person who moves from one place to another, especially in order to find work or better living conditions.
They are migrants, just illegal ones.
The democrats have declared that you can no longer use the term illegal immigrants. They use the term migrant because most people will assume they are legal, and then are entitled to special services and treatment. It’s not semantics, it’s political.
I call them “illegal invaders”.
“Migrants” is enemy propaganda.
