    That’s the whole point of why it’s bad to use the word “illegal” as a noun

    We’re talking about using the word illegal as an adjective: “illegal immigrant”. Immigrant is a noun, illegal is an adjective.

      No, we’re talking about using it as a noun. Saying “an illegal”. Not saying “an illegal immigrant”.
