“That word - illegal - is not a noun, it is an adjective. An adjective that should never be used for human beings. And, ironically, the people that use it frequently as a noun agree with that - only they have no desire to remind the general public that there are, in fact, human beings involved when it comes to an issue concerning the illegals.”*
