Interesting. I have lived in the SW for much of my adult life and have not seen people define illegal the way you do. Illegal alien means they are not in the country legally.
Your use is propaganda to render sympathy for those who are here illegally. That includes overstaying visas
Calling a human being an "illegal" literally means that that person, not their actions, but the person themself, is a violation of the law.
The only remaining question is where that puts the person using the slur on the Stages of Genocide.
Maybe English is not your first language? You do know what the word "illegal" means, right?
So what is your definition?
Illegal | Definition of Illegal by Merriam-Webster
" a person who enters or lives in a country without the documentation required for legal entry or residence"
" not according to or authorized by law"
As a joke I have said English is my second language, I have no first. :lamo
You left out an important part of the definition: "sometimes disparaging + offensive"
"Illegal" as a noun is a slur, no matter how badly you need it to not be.

Wait! If you broke into the country illegally and are offended because you are called an illegal is totally your problem! If it offends you leave and come back legally.
Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi tell illegal immigrants how to AVOID being arrested in ICE raids due to begin this weekend on Trump's orders
Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi tell illegal immigrants how to avoid being arrested in ICE raids | Daily Mail Online
Jul 11, 2019 ~ By Geoff Earle -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is informing immigrants they don't have to answer the door during planned ICE raids that begin Sunday unless authorities can furnish a valid warrant. With a planned round-up of up to 2,000 immigrants being sought for deportation, she was among several powerful Democrats instructing migrants of their rights – including the right not to open the door for a search that isn't backed up by a specific warrant. 'An ICE deportation warrant is not the same as a search warrant,' Pelosi said Thursday. 'If that is the only document ICE brings to a home raid, ICE does not have a legal right to enter a home.'

Comment:
Let me get this straight.. Pelosi, Speaker of the US House of Representative, Lawmaker, third in line for US Presidency is now advising 1ilegalaliens, human traffickers, drug smugglers, gangs and law breakers how the resist US lawful Orders.. I blame her and communist democrats.. for any harm to ICE or other law enforcement officials.. Both Hillary and Pelosi should be considered treasonists. Nancy Pelosi is an active member of our government, to undermine our Government efforts to make our citizens safer. Clinton is nothing but a criminal any case.. Both are committing TREASON.
Those rights they speak of are for citizens who pledge allegiance to the flag. Law abiding citizens. Immigrants who legally entered the US and are following the immigration laws who stand in line, show up for appointments, produce the documents requested and pay their own bills are the ones who will pledge allegiance to the flag and pay tax! Not illegals who are determined to break the law from the day they arrived.
Nancy Pelosi in particular has sworn multiple in her political career to uphold and protect the laws of the United States of America. She has publically advocating breaking the same laws she has helped to promulgate.
Surely the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA liberal media will fail to report any of this unless it's to help illegals avoid law enforcement. What country do we live in where elected officials encourage law breaking and do everything they can to disadvantage legal residents?
So what it is sometimes disparaging and offensive. Sometimes does not mean it is all the time. I also did not include when it is a noun or an adjective.
NOTED. you did not give your definition of illegal..
Your playing silly word games. Sorry to bust it to you but some in this country are here illegally. Yes, they are human. Humans who broke our laws.
And now you're back to the victim-blaming.
How are they victims?
You won't accept the explanation that you could easily look up yourself, so why should I waste my time providing it for you?
So, you got nothing. Got it.
I know this simple concept is very difficult for you so let me break it down.
Slurs dehumanize people. You are using a slur. Therefore you are dehumanizing people.
This is about as simple as one can make it. If you still cannot understand then you need to step aside and let those who are willing and able do the understanding for you.

Even worse than the Progressive Marxists Socialist/DSA liberal media is that the president gave these monstrous illegals a heads up. Trump must be party to the conspiracy as well.
“Hello Al? Al Capone? This is Eliot Ness. We’ll be raiding your stills and speakeasies this weekend. Thought you should know.”
Nah... He's giving them a chance to deport themselves. By telegraphing the mass deportation, those illegally here may go back to Mexico.... It worked for President Eisenhower.

Let me break it down for you. I don't accept your opinion when the term "illegal" to identify someone who entered or is in the US without permission. Yes, at times in can be a "slur". Depends on the context the word is used.
I bet I am much older than you. I bet I have a much different view on what has been happening for years with the migration of people into the US. Congress has failed us. So has the current and past Presidents.
Back then the Democrats weren't advocating for open borders and telling illegals it's their basic human right to be her illegally. Illegals weren't being promised a full ride and they weren't given priority over American citizens by Democrats.
