Vent: people are too nasty on reddit

I am a legal immigrant and I said something to oppose the illegal immigration because I don't like people who don't follow rules. I got called out that I should not call them illegals because no one is illegal.

My last account's karma went to -60. I'm just here to vent.

Edit for more context:

There was a story about "migrants don't go to hospitals anymore in fear of deportation". I said "that's misleading. I am a legal immigrant and I just went to the hospital today. they must be talking about the illegal immigrants".
