The term is illegal ALIENS. Makes it extra racist.

The word comes from the Latin alius meaning other

Apologetic much? Dehuminization is dehuminization in my books.

Lol, I made no judgement about the use of the word, merely giving the etymology. I'm sorry you misinterpreted me as defending xenophobia.

From the Greek xeno meaning strange.

Maybe read the room a little before posting. My sarcasm, in this case, is very warranted, but you "correcting" me with an etymology lesson really makes you look apologetic. Why would you post something so irrelevant to the conversation?
