Then again, the argument that they cost the state shitloads of money is questionable at best, as is them stealing away jobs (have you seen the US unempoyment rates? They are low), and depending on the case having a heart is not despicable. Eg when you have someone who is here for decades, with children that only know the US, that work, get no social benefits, aren't criminal... you can give those people a path to citizenship, that's not an outlandish thing to do. Others that came here recently for example, or defrauf the US, do dirty things, ok sure, deport them, maybe even more staunchly perhaps (I don't know about that for sure one way or another). But to round everyone up and deport everyone without any chance of making their case to stay, that might just be unnnecessary cruel.

You do realize in past 2.5 years under Biden 6 to 8 million ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS entered the U.S. The vast majority are not working (just ask NYC), so shouldn't they be added to the unemployed Americans in the US?

If so, unemployment spikes to over 15%.
