afua hirsch proposes the introduction of strict verbal control for the phrase "illegal immigrant"...
...but the guardian legal correspondent fails to pick up that immigration legislation (the law which magically turns immigrants illegal) is, by its nature, discriminatory and racist...
...just ask jimmy mubenga.
ok love...let's ban the words "illegal" and "immigrant" when they miscegenate and make sense of an illogical immoral unworkable law...then we can all pretend that the concept of immigration legislation is fine, that "illegal immigrants" don't exist, and don't get exploited by big business and the conniving politicians who rake off the resultant corporation taxes to suit and boot themselves...
...and you can carry on collecting fees for representing those "illegal immigrants"...
making these words "dirty"...will never make the money you earn "clean"...you have degraded, dehumanized and smeared the very clients who put food in your mouth...
lawyers...protect the law at the expense of the people...
what would we do without 'em?

to be fair, i too have always been irritated by the term "illegal immigrant", but it's the racist concept of illegal immigration which must be addressed and rejected, not the words which are used to describe those who fall foul of the legislation.
