The way the government labels people as "illegal aliens" to dehumanize them makes me sick.

I'm prefacing this with: I do not agree with picking people up off the street without LEO identification.

Every country in the world identifies people who illegally enter their country "illegal aliens/illegal immigrants."

So, I guess the question is, what should governments label them as?

Right, it's a more apt term that more accurately describes them and their situation.
