It was an implied assumption in your argument that most of the undocumented migrants were criminals.
This is, once again, the implied and racist argument that is the very basis of this thread.
This supposed relationship between undocumented migrants and crime has been disproven in this thread with scientific studies. And yet you keep posting questionable “articles” that keep perpetuating the same incorrect and disproven relationship which also perpetuates the racist stereotypes about Latinos that has served Trump so well.
I even asked you to discuss how people in his administration worked with Breitbart to spread these kinds of stories, and you refused.
While I am unable to force you to discuss how this racism helps Trump and the employers who use undocumented migrant labour, you are also unable to stop me from clarifying the racism in your thread.

The law is not necessarily fair.
It was illegal to harbor slaves when slavery was legal. It was illegal to shelter Jews in Nazi Germany. And other examples abound of unjust laws.
In the case of US undocumented migrants, the basic lack of justice is in how the law is enforced by ICE. Thousands of workers are arrested and deported each year. A few managers might get charged. Business owners get off scot free. One became POTUS.
If you are going to argue about the sanctity of law while ignoring lawbreakers who happen to own businesses, your argument loses strength.
There is a crack in everything,
That's how the light gets in...
