"No human is illegal" are four well-chosen words that would be a meaningless truism except in opposition to the construct of "illegal alien."
If you thought "Science is Real" you might read something like
https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/nov/03/how-migration-...
and understand that the discourse of politically oriented folks about immigration is not at all evidence based. Tacking one cause to another cause tends to work terribly for progressive causes
The best critique of "Science is Real" is the Habermas classic
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legitimation_Crisis_(book)
which points out a failure mode of our civilization in terms of reconciling expert knowledge, popular participation, and reality which remains unanswered.
