    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

          Technically, nothing. In the same way that “person who committed thievery” is a correct term for “thief.” People may not be illegal, but we call them criminals all the time.

            But you realize that’s not what’s in the headline, right?

            Like, if you’re trying to actually learn I’m down to clarify, but it feels like you just want to argue the line as close to dehumanizing these people as you can…

      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’.
