NO HUMAN BEING IS ILLEGAL.
No human being is illegal is a slogan used by Illegal Aliens and immigration advocates, but it is incorrect. I should not be afraid to call someone who entered my country illegally and remain without the permission of my government an Illegal Alien because it offends them. Illegal Aliens offend me in my country and no one cares about me being offended?

Illegal Aliens and Illegal Immigrants
by Maeve Maddox
The words alien and immigrant are not exactly interchangeable, but immigrant is perceived as having a more positive connotation than alien.
An immigrant is a person who moves from one country to settle in another
An immigrant may or may not be a citizen. An alien is definitely not a citizen.
There are two types of alien: legal and illegal.
A legal alien is a person who is in a country temporarily as a student or a tourist, or who has been granted permission to live in the country permanently without being a citizen. The latter kind of alien is called a resident alien. (amnesty advocates frequently use this from the bible to excuse Illegal Aliens but it describes someone who in in the country by permission.)
An illegal alien is present in a country without the countrys authorization. If the person intends harm, the term enemy alien may apply.
