> undocumented immigrants

"Undocumented" is mostly just a euphemism for illegal. Amazon does a significant amount of shady things, selling servers to ICE isn't one of them. Open borders are neither feasible nor popular.




It's the other way around. "Illegal" is the inaccurate slur to refer to an undocumented person. Nobody can be illegal.



Their presence as an immigrant in the country definitely can be though!

Hence 'Illegal Immigrant'.


If someone breaks the law, aren’t they doing something illegal?


You wouldn't call someone "an illegal" because they sped on their way to work.
