What you’re pretending to miss is that those in powers are making sure that those people remain “illegal” , on purpose. In the first place, you’re the one creating the situation of them being “in the country illegally”.
The correct solution is to give them papers, not to deport them and treat them like criminals for a situation you put them in. Remember that the “you’re on the table” argument that you claim is reasonable is putting them in prison where you can exploit them harder as slaves, it’s only one step after what’s happening to them already.
Everyone can be illegal if you don’t make anyone legal and then claim they’re only getting punished because they broke the law. There’s nothing reasonable there.
That would be an argument worth discussing if the Nazis weren’t also trying to ban puberty blockers and frothing at the mouth claiming the trans agenda is coming for their kids. But no, right now, that’s a garbage bad faith argument, because it already has an obvious answer. That’s how they poison the discussion.
