illegal means outside what is legal. In the case of immigration that would be people who jumped the border rather than going through the legal process like everyone else has gone through for the past 200+ yrs. Hell even the colonies had immigration policies back in the late 17th century.
Obviously it means against the law.
In the context of immigration debate, though, it is often used as a noun - a shortening of 'illegal alien' or 'illegal immigrant.'
