[Sergio Garza Castillo] hopes Trump seizes on the opportunity to expand support from Latino voters by creating a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who’ve been here for years.
Yeah I'm sure Trump will get right on that

Trump's magic power is convincing people that he might do something that he will never, ever do.

Trump: “Deport all the immigrants!”
“Oh wow, this must mean he’s going to make a path to citizenship!”
Obama/Biden/Harris: “We will work to give immigrants a path to citizenship.”
“Well, *can* we believe they will? I need more information…”

🤣🤣🤣
Where do they find these idiots!?! How do they think that US immigration got so f#{body}amp;'d to begin with?
Who do they think is massively benefiting from a broken immigration system that scapegoats immigrants for every thing from US unemployment to missing drier socks, while simultaneously creating a predatory capitalist system of exploiting undocumented workers in huge industries that rely on 30%+ undocumented labor?

Stephen Miller is talking about denaturalization, and Sergio here thinks they’re going to make the naturalization process easier…
So many brainwashed people, it’s rodiculous.

We will just have to wait and see, I’m pretty sure that just simply belittling and insulting Sergio over here is just going to increase the resolve of people like him, pushing them over to the right.

I agree that doesn't sound like something Trump would do but it is worth noting that it gets easier to pass a path to citizenship in the future if borders are more secure. No they can't be perfectly secure and no you can't "deport everyone". But you can make them more secure and then legislation to give a path to citizenship can be passed in the future...even if by the Democrats.
Look. 99% of reddit seems not to want to acknowledge that ~2.5 million illegal immigrants is an unsustainable number. Even if illegal immigration is a net positive for the economy (which is a perspective with its own moral problems) you are burdening support infrastructure in a way that leads to bad things for everyone.
In some ways it reminds me of how people respond to homelessness/panhandlers. You see a few in a metro area and you say "give them a dollar or at least leave them be". And I agree with that. But once the encampments grow into a huge size interfering with other people's lives and businesses (and leading to unreported crime and victims who cannot get help) you have to do something.
The point I am making here is, your response may need to change depending on the number of people you are talking about. Even if morally the question hasn't changed, pragmatically it has.
