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"
