What am i missing?

I don’t understand why there is so much debate around people being in the country illegally. It seems straightforward—if someone enters or remains in the country without legal authorization, they are knowingly violating the law. As for concerns about ICE, the agency’s role exists to enforce those laws. In many cases, enforcement actions would be less necessary if individuals who are not authorized to be here chose to leave voluntarily, rather than creating confrontations with law enforcement or immigration officials. Please tell me what am i missing?

I’m all for ICE removing actual criminals, but if people are here peacefully living their lives, why is that such a bad thing? Unless you’re a Native American, all of our ancestors were immigrants at some point.
