I get where you’re coming from, but that philosophy didn’t work too well for indigenous people, hence the longer saying…
That’s a Great Replacement talking point. People aren’t illegal, acts are. Showing up isn’t a problem, genocide and theft are.
I don’t remember it being “nobody is illegal unless invading, even if labeled ‘colonising’”.
(Europeans mostly haven’t stolen the land they are currently on but are still discriminating against immigrants, thereby making the stolen land saying unfit. I’m sure it has problems outside Europe too though.)
