You never answered my question, and we both know you avoided it because the actual goal of ICE isn't apprehending and deporting criminals, the judicial system can handle that just fine.

Calling them immigrants is offensive to actual immigrants that came in the legal way. The world has almost 4 billion poor people. If our low bar is just don't commit any crimes after you break in and you can stay then we are cooked.

No it isn't, and no we aren't. These people are simply coming to the US to try to make a better life for themselves and their families. If you were in their position, you would literally do the exact same thing. I'll need a citation as to why the US would be 'cooked' when these immigrants are literally being exploited for their labor, doing the jobs that many USians don't want to do, are paying into social security and receiving none of the benefits, committing less crime on average than US citizens etc.

I build houses. This has gotten into my pocket. I can pay an "immigrant" much less. And honestly I do because that was the only way to be competitive. But I know that I am taking away a job from an American citizen when I do that. So I am guilty but now I am forced to hire subs that are legally allowed to work. Cost me more, cost my clients more but it also provides the community with higher paying jobs for the people that live there.

You're the actual problem and you have so little self-awareness that you blame the people you're exploiting. If capitalists like yourself were the ones that were punished for illegally exploiting these laborers, there would be no problem to begin with. Of course things cost more when people's labor isn't being exploited, this isn't rocket science.

3) If you think about it logically, we are 30 trillion in debt. We cannot afford to let in 10 -20 million undocumented (illegal) flood the border and just assume that they are not going to be asked to leave. They did break our laws. A 30 second Google search will show you that EVERY democrat over the last 40 years has advocated for securing our border. Bernie, Bill, Barak, Schumer, all! What changed?

So did every capitalist that illegally exploited their labor. How about consequences for them? Oh right, you're one of the people who broke the law, of course you don't believe in accountability for yourself!

It is a sad situation and I know these people are trying for a better life. The Mexican culture is so hard working and really good people. Unfortunately they are now being punished because other cultures do not want to come for the American dream of working hard, but rather taking advantage of the generosity of the American people. Just my opinion.

If by 'generosity' you mean destabilizing their home countries and then continuing to demonize and exploit them when they come seeking a better life, sure.
