See- this is a problem. Illegal immigration means one thing, but people hear it and think of a family speaking spanish in the grocery store and assume them to be what ‘illegal immigrants’ are. People just ascribe anything vagely unknown to them as ‘illegal immigrants’ and want it gone not realizing that most of the time the people they are imagining are here legally. It’s still racism but with a technically safe cover word, but many are hearing one thing and thinking another.
So when everyone is talking about illegal immigrants they could mean completely different things depending on who you talk to.

What they mean is:
Hispanic person who went through years of wait-lists and followed every step of the process to the letter of the law = Illegal Immigrant
White person who bribed immigration officials to get expedited entry = Legal Immigrant
