2. Anti-immigrant laws are also racist.
3. Therefore anti-immigrant slurs are racial slurs.
4. And, in any case, calling people "illegals," "defectives," "undesirables," or "Untermenschen" is dehumanizing and paves the way for murder.
(I think that's why the anti-immigrant movement uses those terms; many of them want murder, many of them want genocide. Certainly all too many of them are members of neo-Nazi organizations or have close ties with such.)

A nickel is a coin
A nickel is made of silver
Therefore, coins are made of silver.
Apparently these things DO require saying, but they should not.
