If you want to make people angry, mention immigration. If you want to make some of them really angry, scoff at the whole concept.
There is no immigration; there are people where they have a right to be, and there are trespassers. Their place of origin and government permission, or the lack thereof, don't figure into it at all.
An uninvited police officer on your front step is a trespasser. The guy from Central America living in the house next door, with the owner's permission, but without jumping through the government hoops, is not.
The US Constitution doesn't allow for immigration control by the federal government, no matter how its words are "interpreted".
There is no such thing as an "illegal" person. Even those who break the real laws aren't illegal people- they have behaved in unethical ways by violating a specific individual's life, liberty, or property. Those who merely live somewhere without first asking for government permission, but who haven't violated anyone's rights, have done nothing wrong.
The "illegal immigration" fight is a complete rejection of property rights. It is a fight to say property lines don't matter; only government borders do. It's the communists' collective property argument, brought to America and promoted by Americans.
If you want to make a communist angry, tell him he doesn't own, and has no right to control, the country beyond his private property lines. His property isn't being violated by someone being on another person's private property, under a mutually beneficial arrangement with the property owner. Either to live there in exchange for labor or rent, or whatever other deal they've come to.
Someone who walks across unowned land, which is usually illegitimately claimed by some government, has not violated any individual's property. No more so than those who toured the US Capitol building on January 6, 2021.
Of course, the stupidity isn't limited to one side of the fight.
It's stupid to express loyalty to a place you fled and hatred for the place you fled to. If that's how you feel, why are you here?
It's wrong to vandalize private property and businesses, and those who do are only proving the point of those who don't want them here. In that case, I don't want them here, either. They're adding nothing to society.
Forget "immigration". Be a good neighbor- don't violate anyone's life, liberty, or property- and I will never even question your origins.
