Earlier quoted context omitted.

I didn't want to fall into this debate, hence used the politically correct term. My point being, the other guy is arguing that USA doesn't require identity documents, which is laughable. You need SSN just to earn money in USA.

Sorry - I didn't mean to single out your specific usage of the term. Just a bit of a touchy topic as well because I find such language-manipulation that appears trivial on the surface to be a tool used to control discussion. And as a legal migrant, I find the right to be in a host country a privilege; one that should be earned rather than demanded.

I completely agree. People normalizing illegal immigration should openly support what they stand for, that is open borders.
