I didn't mean I wanted the official government definitions of guest worker, legal immigrant , and illegal immigrant. I wanted to know what intrinsically was the difference between a person who is legal one day and illegal the next.

But if you want to use technical definitions I guess I can start using the phrases "undocumented worker" and "out of status immigrant".
