The current U.S. administration, though, has made very tangible, if unconstitutional, efforts to denaturalize foreign-born and even U.S.-born citizens. Both of these acts would also be destabilizing, to say the least, if they are allowed to take place.
It doesn't matter if you think this change is good or bad, it will necessarily have economic knock-on effects and you need to decide if those are good or bad, and if bad if they are worth it.
It's reasonably to argue that the way illegal migrants are used as cheap labour is a problem, but that doesn't alter the economic reality of the effect reducing it has.
You then need to choose whether you're willing to take that cost and/or whether you instead want to remove the ability of employers to exploit these workers this way.

Which sounds like morality is irrelevant, and only economic utility matters.
