People aren't illegal

They can illegally be places they shouldn't, but they're two completely different things and even tho this is likely due to translation it's always good to point out
- Do you prefer the term "criminal foreigners"?
  
  What's wrong with "people who immigrated illegally"?
- Agreed. That's why I always preferred the official Canadian government term - out of status.
  
  These are foreigners who just happen to be out of status in that particular place.
Who the hell illegally migrates to Myanmar?
- In the last decade? People who have lived there for generations but that the Tatmadaw, in an attempt to rally support from the majority population has declared to have immigrated illegally so that they can murder the 'illegals'.
"Illegal people" is not a concept. Gotta fix the headline so it isn't nonsense.
- I think they meant to write illegal immigrants
