Immigration can be enforced without murdering, gassing and viciously assaulting bystanders. Never mind the violations of human rights (like sending deportees to hellholes like CECOT), lying about citizen observers and continually having lawsuits tossed by grand juries.
It's a rogue agency with no accountability that will continue to cause untold harm while making everyone less safe.
I don't care what you think is viable anymore, because the current US immigration enforcement authorities are themselves criminals and murderers. Until Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino are in prison jumpsuits, I will never support the enforcement of US immigration laws and wholeheartedly endorse all lawful efforts to obstruct it.
It was not originally my ultimate position! During the Biden administration I was on exactly the opposite side: we have to enforce immigration law, it can't be subject to a heckler's veto, because if the government tells voters they're not allowed to have the immigration laws they want they're just going to elect a different government that allows it. I was heavily considering voting for Nikki Haley if she won the primary, and I think e.g. Canada and the UK are quite wise to see what's happening in the US and be more open to the idea of strict enforcement.
But Trump and his minions have worked hard to radicalize me over the past year, constantly arguing that everyone who personally dislikes Trump should be miserable and fear his wrath. They succeeded, so I no longer respect their authority and support all lawful efforts to obstruct anything they try to do. Perhaps in the future there will be a government I consider legitimate; if they can root out all of the goons Trump planted in DHS, I would endorse their authority to enforce immigration law again.
There's always been immigration and periodically it leads to scare mongering by people who don't like certain kinds of immigrants in their countries. Humans have migrated across the planet for tens of thousands of years.
