What's the whole point in supporting legal immigration if you don't care for individual circumstances?

So far, legal immigration has been a dog whistle for xenophobics to use. If you don't care, you don't care but you can't not care for people's circumstances and believe in legal immigration those two are conflicting since you need to hear circumstances in order to be for legal immigration in the first place
Unless you're a mind reader, you can't possibly know anyone's situation and what merit are we left with by which we allow others in?

Something I've noticed from xenophobics lately is that they act like it's only legality they care about but when you show examples of legal residents being stripped of their status, these xenophobics don't care. They want to continue saying these people are illegal.

I think I would have far more respect for someone if they just said outright what the real issue is because there's other stuff and they're not being honest about their prejudices by hiding under law and order as fake morality.

These people seem like they have no backbone, no strong morality, no sense of individuality.

1st: Your last statement is exactly why they should not be leading anyone.

2nd: We have always allowed all to come to America, even without prior permission through a Visa, because we believe in providing asylum for all those who are being persecuted in their country of origin. We can vet them later through the immigration court system and send back any and all who do not qualify for asylum.

3rd: MAGA claims they believe in "family values," yet somehow believe it's alright to separate families. It's much better to allow a man to stay and work to feed his family while he goes through the legal process to stay, than remove him and put those children on food stamps and public housing.

3rd: MAGA has a difficult time accepting the fact that the world is changing and they can not stop it. We will move forward without them if necessary. Like Christ said, " let the dead bury the dead," and so we will move forward without them.

@calicuz I've thought on number 3 a lot, you're right.
