Beautiful! I have photos of DPNI stencil graffiti (and stickers with ridiculous claims about the Azeri diaspora in Moscow), this is the perfect retaliation.
And of course the idea that "there are no illegal people" is not novel in migration studies - it is pretty much a truism. As for "illegal acts," I guess you have to decide whether you care more about the human rights of individuals to migrate in order to improve their lives or about the rights of states to erect artificial bureaucratic borders to migration.

No people are illegal- but they do commit illegal acts. This is the problem.
