  • No worries. Let’s just be chill lol.

    I will say, I think you joined an argument to argue something no one was talking about.

    athatet@lemmy.zip said Because people are not ‘illegal’ for crossing an imaginary line on a map. to which I responded, Where did he call anyone ‘illegal’?

    No one is arguing about using the word illegal, but specifically labelling people as illegal. A person cannot be in and of themselves illegal, but they can illegally migrate. That’s the discussion. athatet seems to have mentally lumped me in with a group of ideologies of which I do not belong. I actually agree with athatet here and I was trying to show that we’re on the same page on this.

    You barged in here on a completely different tangent for no reason swinging in full force derailing that. Maybe you yourself call undocumented immigrants “illegal immigrants,” but that’s a whole different discussion.

    Anyway, hopefully that helps clarify my position and doesn’t come off confrontational at all. Thank you for your good faith response, I actually really appreciate it.




  • “Illegal immigration” is the act of migrating into a country in violation of that nation’s immigration laws. It does not describe people, but an act.

    On the other hand, there is no such thing as an “illegal immigrant” and no where in the article text, Bernie’s words or otherwise, was there purported here to be so. Again, please point to me where anyone (read: a person) was called “illegal.”

    In summary: you should not accuse others of being unable to read when you clearly cannot do so yourself.
