trump's been legally found to be a rapist...

Are you ok with people reducing him to that and only referring to him as an "illegal fornicater"?

If someone crosses the border illegally, that has nothing to do with immigration which is a legal process.

Reducing it to "illegal immigrants" makes people question any immigration

And if you think "illegal fornicater" sounds stupid, yeah, that's what the point is. "Illegal immigrants" doesn't make any logical sense if you know what both words mean.

Unfortunately, that's not the strong suit of most of the people who use it. And since the only other group is outright racists...

Well, I was about to say someone who uses that label should be able to understand why people have trouble figuring out which group they're in.

But that would require a shred of empathy and understanding how others think...
