Supposedly they are not.  However, if you watch the news (not FOX news, but
local news) and hear what the reporters say, or hear what folks like the
Mayor of NYC and others are saying, they use the words "illegal" sometimes,
even when discussing migrants who are being moved around by the federal
government, i.e. ones that have already encountered multiple government
officials.

To the everyday person, that is confusing when news reports from reputable
sources use terms interchangably.

Also of note is that AOC is all pro-immigration until the Mayor of NYC
proposes moving some of their illegal/asylum-seeking population into her
district.  It is all OK so long as they are down in Texas or Arizona or
somewhere.  Not so much when they might upset her constituents.
