They are immigrants.

He's focused on the definition only and not meaning.
Also, technically they can't be immigrants because that would mean they have permission to be here legally. Illegal's cannot be considered an immigrant by that definition too.
As always, hyper focused on technicalities.

That's why i didn't respond, because he totally wiffed on my point.
Now he's going to say something silly and paste something else he found online trying to refute my intent.

The misuse of these terms is deliberate. I recall when Psaki was trying to explain why illegals at the border are not required to be vaccinated, she said because they were "migrants" were not staying here permanently. Absolutely dishonest.
