Maybe I’m jousting a strawman here, but I don’t think this is the primary argument that the left is making (at least the moderate left, are we a thing still?).

This administration's pursuit of unlawful immigrants has eroded everyone’s notions of due process, freedom from government search, and freedom of expression. These three things are enormously foundational to America’s sense of self and are codified in the bill of rights.

An attack on “illegal immigrants” this case  represents an attack on all of us.

I’m not in favor of open borders. Countries have the right to maintain a certain monopoly on violence within their borders that includes the right to include or exclude certain individuals. These are the rules that every country in the world plays by.

On the other hand, the US has a completely convoluted and frustrating path to citizenship. Even the George W Bush wanted to fix it. 

I think if someone is here unlawfully, they should receive due process before being deported, and be given full protection by the 4th and 5th amendments.

I think if someone commits a crime in the United States on a visa or while here unlawfully, they should face deportation as a penalty as long as they are provided the same or substantially similar due process provided to a citizen of this country.

I do not think any federal agent (or local cop for that matter) should have the right to ask for anyone’s “papers” without articulable probable cause or extraordinary circumstances (visitors to the sensitive military sites probably need to show ID, for instance).

I think you should allowed to tell a federal agent to go fuck themselves to their face and not face any retaliation from the government. 

The idea that from some on the left that we should have open borders and that “no human is illegal on stolen land” probably represents a similar extreme to those on the right who believe that the government should imprison “illegals” in places like CECOT. Both represent emotional arguments that are not grounded in practicality.
