Maybe I'm getting hung up on the word "undocumented" as it sounds like there's documentation in proof of residence or identification - so more proof of citizenship.

To me "illegal" strips the humanity and it makes people more ok with treating them inhumanely. Are there any other crimes that make us refer to the person as an "illegal"?

That is part of the whole "great reframing" done by the right. It's the same as how people are trained to view "illegal immigrants" as a term for people who are boarder hopping when the reality is that it's a completely negligible amount that that's what it applies to and mostly the term refers to people whose work visas expired (and they entered 100% legally).

This too. My family was sharing a meme about airport security vs border security, showing how difficult it is to get through an airport vs what is essentially a welcome banner at the border. The ironic thing about it is it's a lot easier for them to come in via the airport and overstay their visa

Dont forget that there is a Snopes article specifically about these tweets saying the claim being made in them is false.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/musk-physics-degree/

This article only addresses him getting the degree; if him dropping out in 1995 was enough that he overstayed his visa, him getting his degree in 1997 wouldn't do anything about it.

You probably want this one:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/elon-musk-illegal-immigrant/

Musk has himself said that his status isn't clear.

Undocumented immigrants can vote in certain elections, just not the bigger ones.
Only local elections that don't require state or federal ID.

Oh, look, Musk supporting open transphobic individuals.

But remember "cis" is the actual harassment./s
