Nobody is defending illegal immigration, not even liberals. What is being opposed here is the masking of racist ideals under the guise of preventing illegal immigration.

Illegal crossings at the border are currently one of the most controversial topics in American politics and yet the actual impact of the issue on American citizens is much less. This clearly shows how the real motivations behind the border wall are not as claimed by its proponents.

According to various articles and protests I've read about, there are quite a few people not happy that illegal immigrants are being deported. Most recent example I can think of is the pizza delivery guy in New York.

Supporting humane treatment for people who have already illegally immigrated is a bit different than supporting illegal immigration.
