Answer:

Legal immigrants are foreign-born people legally admitted to the U.S. Undocumented immigrants, also called illegal aliens, are foreign-born people who do not possess a valid visa or other immigration documentation, because they entered the U.S. without inspection, stayed longer than their temporary visa permitted, or otherwise violated the terms under which they were admitted.

There really isn't a difference . I guess one is political and the other is accurate? Both are still violations of the law so yeah there is no difference. Hope this helps!
