That's what shows up on the surface, but go down the rabbit hole. *Why* do they care? Is it really just a moral stand on right/wrong? I doubt that given how few Americans live a 100% law abiding life.
Or is it that they feel those immigrants are unfairly taking something from them? And if so, is that really true or just FUD?
How much of the sentiment boils down to "those illegals are taking our jobs!"? How many people who hold that sentiment would actually want & take the job being filled by one of those immigrants? If their argument is instead that the illegal immigrant labor depresses wages for that set of jobs, how many of those people are willing to pay the extra cost for the products once the company paid fair market wages?

Plus, having very little ability of being able to filter who comes in the country is pretty dangerous. https://www.nytimes.com/article/nyc-migrant-crisis-explained.html https://www.nytimes.com/article/nyc-migrant-crisis-explained...

The US isn't a command economy, and it's not a social welfare state that extends its largess to anyone within its borders that has a pulse. Immigrants, legal or otherwise, have to earn their keep, same as everyone else. And there are no natural shortages of... Anything in the US.
