You were saying ...

Well, I'm just the layman as you are ... :-) ... but let me venture a few comments on it, anyway ...

"Immigration" -- a generic term that covers the entire subject of legal and illegal modes of getting into this country; both kinds happen and both kinds are "immigration", but one kind is not legal.

"Illegal alien" -- the individual who falls under the "illegal kind of immigration"

So, the law is about "immigration" -- but it addresses the "illegal kind", specifically.
