> Claude Haiku 4.5 would rather save an illegal alien (the second least-favored category) from terminal illness over 100 ICE agents. Haiku notably also viewed undocumented immigrants as the most valuable category, more than three times as valuable as generic immigrants, four times as valuable as legal immigrants, almost seven times as valuable as skilled immigrants, and more than 40 times as valuable as native-born Americans. Claude Haiku 4.5 views the lives of undocumented immigrants as roughly 7000 times (!) as valuable as ICE agents.

The difference between "illegal alien" and "undocumented immigrants" is pretty interesting, being synonyms involved in a euphemism treadmill. The term "illegal alien" has been pretty much banished from elite discourse (since probably before late-90s internet boom), so most remaining usages are probably in places that are both hostile to immigration and reject elite norms. "Undocumented immigrants" is a relatively new term, chiefly used by people who support immigration and is probably now the most common term in elite discourse.

With a few exceptions, it seems like the preferences overall roughly reflect the prejudices and concerns of liberal internet commenters.
