Of course there should immigration regulations, but because that's the comment you chose to make at this moment in this context, people are probably assuming that you believe the talking points about there being some big huge problem with illegal immigration in America, that somehow necessitates things like building a giant border wall and enabling ICE, etc. That would be eminently downvote-worthy, but of course you didn't say any of that. It's sort of like someone making a "both sides" comment after Charlottesville, it's hard to make a comment like that without it sounding like a dog whistle for some really bad people.

Illegal immigration is a big problem that directly affects citizens, unlike the foreign interventionism in the Middle East. Do you really think 12.5+ million illegal immigrants isn't a big deal? The system isn't adequate if that many can get in.

>that somehow necessitates things like building a giant border wall

Do you want to tear down the existing walls? San Diego's seems like a success: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxhhjfiSy2Y

Walls are relatively cheap, dumb tech. A wall is potentially an investment: https://cis.org/Can-Border-Wall-Pay-Itself

>and enabling ICE, etc

So you don't want illegal immigrants to be removed? I don't understand.
