But but, o wait there was a quip about words and reason, invaders refer to an organized army, not families, and it's about war, not migration. The other epic fail is that illegal means criminals means thieves, murderers and rapists, so who picks your fruits and veggies by hand, by and large? So much for adding value to the economy, because why not relegate them to the label of criminal based on laws that are neither law nor public and have neither victim, the "thought " exercise that begins by "they're invaders" when referring to migration, because so much for reasoning like "invaders have a different intent and objectives than immigrants". All hail the "legality" of the ones who don't virtue signal as "I'm such a witty intellectual, unlike those barbarians that don't even use words and logic to devalue both words and logic"

It depends upon the dictionary you look at. The older they are it is likely a lot different than what you'll get most places. I actually did look at a lot of dictionaries before using the terms.
Though in modern times the definitions of a lot of words are being changed. Often changed from what they have been for 1000s of years.
Yet let's take it a step further. A dictionary is made by humans. That is why each dictionary differs. They are meant as a tool to help people learn words they don't know. They however, are not the AUTHORITY on what a word must be. Otherwise, they'd have the same definitions. They don't. So falling upon dictionary definitions is nothing more than an Argument from Authority fallacy. ;)
I buy into definitions a lot more if they are accompanied by the etymology of the word.

If you have a disagreement with a dictionary definition it's a semantic argument. Tell me, if I were to ask you to differentiate between immigrant and invader, what would be the difference? If we cannot agree on what words mean then there's no point in talking, and I think you've stretched authority to mean anything now, especially considering there's no one authority in charge there and you might as well say it's a fallacy of popularity as that would be much more veracious, don't you think?
