People keep forgetting that it's possible to legally migrate, work for awhile, and so on, and then "become illegal" due to deadlines or administration issues.
An example every tech worker should understand is H1-B, where as an added bonus your employer can make you illegal.
Why did you put a quote around become illegal? It's illegal indeed, not illegal.
You may like immigration laws or not, there is a very clear definition on legal aliens.
