I wouldn't want illegal aliens in my country. They're criminals. Norway doesn't allow it, we control our borders. We could do a better job, but at least we don't have a backlog the size of the US'

Glad that Norway has the immigration problem solved *eye roll*

Tell me more about how humans are criminals for existing? You hate the idea of someone standing on your piece of dirt without your express say-so that your preference is to live under an umbrella of fear and suspicion of your neighbors?

Forgive me, this is not how I want to live. I wonder how many Norwegians who settled in Minnesota were illegal immigrants?

Entering a country illegally is a crime. We have borders. You are letting yourself be emotionally manipulated into suicidal empathy.

The US isn't Norway, we're the world's largest economy and 4th largest in land area. Immigration has always been a net positive for the country (setting aside how negative European immigration was for the Native Americans). Migrants perform all sorts of work, and they offset declining birth rates. They also add to the cultural melting pot.

"Suicidal empathy" sounds like a far right talking point, because you don't want too many brown Muslisms in Europe.

Legal immigration is not the same as illegal immigration. Stop being disingenuous.
