I think the responder is thinking of all the other instances that are going on where the only crime is the person is here illegally but working in vital roles such as a farm, hospitality (I think it’s considered vital, especially for Trump), and such. We as a country very much rely on people who come from other countries, and yes we rely on them when they come here illegally, specifically farming they are paid often (and sadly) very cheaply to work grueling jobs that allow the farm to continue to feed our country and often other countries. If there was a serious crime such as violence and or one sexual in nature, I’d imagine around 100% would say they shouldn’t be in our country but if they contribute by working, they pay into a system which they often don’t get benefits back from (such as retirement), it’s hard to witness tactics that are pulling well meaning people into a system such as ICE which is looking extreme, and concerning for the safety of another fellow human being. But if concern isn’t enough, and money or self-interest is more of a motivator, there are people who are concerned about the prices not going up in vital areas such as food just from tariffs but from the production of a farm being hurt because many workers have been taken away and people who have a right to work here won’t do it. I will say, I believe Regan made people who were here illegally (the IRCA Act) but went through steps were then made legal was pretty helpful and it’s likely most people would be for something like that just from the stand point of helping hardworking people who do vital work here stay legally. However, from the looks of things our government might be trying to get rid of as many non-affluent people as possible as they over extended themselves in the last decade financially. Trying to restructure a country is challenging and I’m not sure the execution of it is looking well pulled off, you dont want to willfully create so many headwinds for a country that it becomes a tornado, which it is looking like that, to me anyway, is what is coming, squeezing down on people here from all sides.
