it's such a weird discussion to even pretend to have. like, the legal reality that people who cross into the country or stay in the country without approval from the state are considered criminals is not something that anyone in power disputes or disagrees with. the whole argument is whether it's okay to say that out loud or we have to pretend that ICE is a necessary institution and imprisoning asylum seekers is for their own good.
