Easy it is a label to describe immigration status

It isn't being used that way (to describe a status). It is being used to describe a person as "illegal".

A person being documented or not by a group which claims political authority over a geographic area does not make that person illegal.

It's no different than calling a person a citizen. Your inability to understand the definition of illegal does not change its definition.

It’s no different than calling a person a citizen.

A citizen is a thing a person can be. It's also a noun.
"Illegal" is not a thing a person can be.

Actions can be against laws but humans cannot.

Illegal is short for illegal immigrant, many people are illegal immigrants.

Undocumented people may immigrate in a way some people do not consider to be "legal" but they themselves are not illegal therefore "illegals" is a nonsense term.

My truck is blue, I call it blue. Is blue a nonsense term?

Using an adjective as an adjective is a nonsense argument for asserting "using an adjective as a noun to refer to people is not dehumanizing".

No, I call it blue. As in "Lets take blue to the hardware store"
