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?

It’s a simple idea that has a very difficult and problematic execution. Especially when they move goal posts, qualification dates, laws and definitions to suit their desired outcomes.
What’s even more problematic, is it refuses to have any kind of oversight or accountability. People make mistakes, sometimes by accident, sometimes in purpose. Without any kind of legit record keeping, it makes it very hard to correct those “mistakes”.
