Just because you look down on a group of people doesn’t make the term to describe them dehumanizing.

Doesn't make it not dehumanizing—since it is—and it certainly doesn't help your arguments it isn't.

I can’t change how you feel about a group nor can I change the definition of a word. It’s a shame you only see a person’s immigration status there’s more to an illegal than how they entered the country.

  You're going to have to explain what the word means to me then, because the phrase by itself doesn't even seem to refer to immigration status at all and I don't know what you mean by it.

    One that doesn't fit with your later claim that it isn't derogatory so both assertions cannot be true.
    
    The word you used doesn't even mention people so what is it to which you are referring when you use it?
