    @damnedfurry @gaja calling someone an illegal immigrant is specifically meant to dehumanize them. Right wingers don’t do that with other offenses. We don’t have illegal gun owners, illegal tax payers, illegal drivers, illegal hunters, heck they don’t even call abortionists illegal doctors.

      calling someone an illegal immigrant is specifically meant to dehumanize them.

      calling someone a thief who stole something is specifically meant to dehumanize them.

      ???

      Accurately identifying someone who broke law X by saying they are a ‘law X breaker’ is nothing but stating a simple fact.

      If the breakers of that law find it so dehumanizing, that’s on them. Maybe consider not breaking that law, then?
