Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals

  No it isn’t. Nothing about “sometimes” being true itself proves the corollary “always” is false.

  You’re going to have to provide examples where sometimes means always.

  dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/…/sometimes

  on some occasions but not always or often:

  on some occasions but not always or often illegal can be derogatory.

  Besides, you would think you could end this by giving the example to refuse to proffer of a non-derogatory use.

  There is no way you’ll be honest about the statement. You’ve all ready stated it’s a slur no matter how it’s used.

    I'm not the one making the claim here, you are.

      You keep claiming illegal is always derogatory even though the definition states otherwise.

        The definition does not indicate it can be not derogatory—which makes sense because it's derogatory.

        You despite claiming sans evidence that it is possible to refer to a human being with a pejorative adjective and it be anything other than derogatory, won't even back up your claim with a single non-derogatory example of its use.

        I get why you won't—'cause you can't—but if you were right you'd think You could give an example rather than litigating the implied corollaries to "sometimes".
