No, I don't think so. There's a set of people who consume media that deliberately and consistently conflates "immigrant" and "illegal immigrant", and they just can't disambiguate what happens to one from what happens to the other.

But what to do with an "illegal immigrant" who has been living in the country for 30 years (and PAID TAXES!) , had 4 kids and a perfectly normal , productive life?

Do you separate them from their kids, and send the bunch to a prison? That is insane.

Because from what we hear about ICE, that is exactly what is happening... when they don't just kill them outright.

		It might be enlightening for some to look at what happens to someone who builds a house on land they don't own, and then lives there for 30 years. It's a pretty well established body of law.

Last year ICE was deporting legal tourists.
