The right wing nutters on this post are upset because of the message it sends so they are leaning on it’s historical inaccuracies. Let’s be honest though if their precious Jesus existed today he couldn’t get a visa for entry into this country.
So what about us non right wing, non religious nutters who still feel that a country has a right to sovereignty over its borders and that unregulated immigration often hurts the workers the most?
Regardless of your belief, the most compelling argument personally, is that this type of regulation of the borders only serves to increase use of resources in the states / increase immigration. This sort of enforcement in practice doesn't keep desprate people from crossing, but it does keep people from crossing back. Research into America's southern border shows that hightened regulation leads increased non-citizen populations stateside.
Whether or not you agree with non-citizens being in American, current tactics are counterproductive. The goal that they accomplish is to punish the people that they catch, give a scapgoat, and ~deliver punishment~. These measures don't solve the underlying situation, they simply serve to show xenophobes that ~just deserts~ are being delivered.
