The term is illegal ALIENS. Makes it extra racist.

The word comes from the Latin alius meaning other

Apologetic much? Dehuminization is dehuminization in my books.

Lol, I made no judgement about the use of the word, merely giving the etymology. I'm sorry you misinterpreted me as defending xenophobia.

From the Greek xeno meaning strange.
