Illegal does seem to have become rather nuanced when talking of immigration. Statistics being statistics, one can find many for both sides of the argument, but none, as Osmund points out, trumps ILLEGAL.

One can trot out all manner of idealistic sentiment, or harsh recrimination, but the fact remains they are still illegal.

They aren't undocumented, because they have no right to any documents, they are simply, illegal.

There is a lawful means of immigration. Those that don't use it are, illegal. Last I knew, anyone preforming an illegal activity is a criminal, punishable by law. (Of course, someone will chime in with when you go 5mph over the speed limit you're breaking the law, and that happens all the time. Fatuous, but they'll trot it out anyway)
