> So, either you're making the case for completely open borders and all that comes with it, or you're in favor of deportation.

It's this type of black and white thinking that is so poisonous to current discourse. There are many people that are okay with deporting illegal immigrants, as long as they are treated with some modicum of respect during the process, families are not separated, asylum laws are upheld, and children brought across the border at a young age that know no other place are allowed to stay.

There are pretty reasonable solutions to these problems. Unfortunately, everyone prefers to see only my side versus your side.
