It also just sounds like stupid lib shit. No one is illegal–period. Nothing more needs to be said. If the land wasn't stolen, would it be okay to start labeling people illegal?

No one is illegal–period.

Which is, of course, a refutation of a ridiculous straw man, because no one is actually labeling the people themselves illegal, when referring to them having immigrated illegally. It's a deliberate cringy misinterpretation of simple shorthand.

If you call someone a thief, are you saying that they are theft, or are you saying that they stole?
