"...what the Trump administration calls 'illegal aliens.'"

Such a BS statement! The term "illegal alien" appears in several U.S. federal laws, primarily in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) of 1952, as amended, which is codified in Title 8 of the United States Code. Below are key instances:
