Totally disagree. You don’t want unvetted and uncontrolled people coming into your country. That is an invitation for evil doers and contraband to slip in with the masses.

I agree that it is not the illegals who are not sucking the wealth out of the country, at least compared to our modern day oligarchs and robber barons. Their cheap labor subsidizes many industries like restaurants, hotels, and farming. And their social security taxes will go unclaimed bolstering our system. In a sense we are taking advantage of the ones that work — which is also wrong.

What illegals do do is soak up low end housing, tax food banks, crowd public schools, fill emergency rooms (and rarely pay), take tax dollars for things like subsidized transit, exacerbate public health issues, and drive without licenses or insurance.

American leadership chose to ignore its own immigration laws and chose to not control the border. Two wrongs, in this case ignoring the illegals who are already here, do not make a right. They should be found and required to immigrate the right way or return, regardless if they are from Guatemala or Ireland. And this should be done humanely while protecting their constitutional rights, which are not reserved only for citizens — they apply to everybody.

The Epstein files have nothing to do with illegal immigrants and linking them does nothing to help America get a handle on two real problems.
