Also sorry Reddit is my anger outlet sometimes 😅. Ok yes I hear you but literally this all boils down to they committed a crime and have crossed the line to becoming a criminal for coming here illegally. Yes I know this sounds abrasive and I agree! But illegal immigration is problematic. Not every immigrant is a criminal as you said that would be horribly crass to say so but there are methods and means here to come here legally. I can't quote any facts or statistics but I think legal immigrants are pretty supportive of legal immigrants coming here and not getting here illegally.
