"Illegal Alien" is a legal term to describe someone who has entered this country illegally, or who has overstayed legal, temporary permission to enter the country. There is no racial connotation. There is no sex connotation. There is no class connotation. It is a neutral term that is a perfect descriptor!
But the left has always made one of the tenets of its malign philosophy the destruction of traditional, logical language. George Orwell wrote about it at length, and 80 years later his thoughts are fresh and prescient, in particular in Politics And The English Language, and 1984.
Orwell would recognize the idiotic and incompetent mayor of Chicago as one of the foot soldiers in the left's battle against the English language!

Johnson called the term "racist" and sarcastically suggested that he should also call black people "slaves."
