Last month, the administration said the U.S. will let up to 360,000 people per year enter the country from four countries. A lawsuit filed Tuesday claims the policy is illegal.
If I said, “The sun sometimes rises in the east.” that is a true statement, but not evidence that it ever does otherwise and if I wanted to claim “…and sometimes it rises in the west.” I would still need to provide evidence other than stressing the “sometimes” in my first statement.
How can calling a person (and not actions) “illegal” be anything but derogatory?
Explain your west-rising sun, please.
What direction the sun rise is not binary, unlike if a statement is derogatory, the sun can rise in the east, north east, South east, North or south.
If the claim that the sun sometimes rises in east is true than the claim that the sun always rises in the east is false and so is that the claim the sun never rises in the east.
If the claim that illegal is sometimes derogatory is true then the the claim illegal is always derogatory or never derogatory is false.
You are really having a tough time with the word sometimes. When illegal is used as a noun sometimes it is derogatory + offensive.
Do you know what sometimes means?
You have yet to describe the times it is not.
If there “were no times it is not”, the definition would not use the word sometimes .

No it isn’t. Nothing about “sometimes” being true itself proves the corollary “always” is false.
Besides, you would think you could end this by giving the example to refuse to proffer of a non-derogatory use.
You’re going to have to provide examples where sometimes means always.

on some occasions but not always or often illegal can be derogatory.
There is no way you’ll be honest about the statement. You’ve all ready stated it’s a slur no matter how it’s used.
I’m not the one making the claim here, you are.
You keep claiming illegal is always derogatory even though the definition states otherwise.
