In the same way we shut down terms like "undocumented immigrant", we should shut down the term "immigration status". "Status" sounds like some paperwork wasn't done. Maybe the term "immigration crime" would be more appropriate.
I scrolled across a particularly apropos word the other day:
CRIMIGRANT
