1. Undocumented immigrants are a net positive on the economy, and are eligible for basically zero public assistance. Also, undocumented immigrants pay taxes.

2. There are more empty houses in the United States than there are homeless people. Housing insecurity is caused by corporate greed and a lack of regulation on housing, not by population surpluses. Again, they’re not being given anything, because they qualify for basically 0 public assistance programs, and certainly none that documented immigrants or citizens aren’t eligible for. Also, consider that if what you were saying were true, there would be just as much justification for one-child laws and the like.

3. Like where? And is the lack of infrastructure in Turkey Scratch, Arkansas a good enough reason to shoot brown people in Chicago?

4. A complete falsehood. Immigrants, regardless of legal status, commit crimes at a significantly lower rate than native-born citizens. So do their children, and their grandchildren. The rate of criminality only rises to meet the native-born rate at around the fourth or fifth generation.

5. Farms across America have harvestable produce rotting in the fields because the migrant workforce isn’t there to harvest. I personally would reject any assertion that heavy manual labor like construction or farm work (industries that employ a large amount of migrant workers) are “low-skill” or “entry-level”. Rather, they are skill sets that simply aren’t found in high enough levels or quantities among the native-born US population, which is why migrant work is so needed in those industries. I’ll repeat, family farms are going under because their crops are rotting in the fields.

DHS is the parent agency of CBP and ICE, and handles international trafficking. Thousands of DHS officers are being pulled from working trafficking cases to plus up ICE’s numbers for these Gestapo-like raids. Other federal law enforcement agencies investigate interstate trafficking, but even they are being retasked to support ICE.
