minus-squaredaniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·edit-211 months agoI think those are just semantics. I get the feeling of not wanting to criminalize the existence of a person. But it’s common language to say that civil infractions are illegal. You could totally say “It’s illegal to park here” even if you would just get a ticket for that. I get the feeling. But I don’t think it is rational to think that anyone writing “illegal immigration” is racist.
