I disagree. When there are thousands upon thousands of innocent people in privately-run ICE detention centres, whose economic value is solely based on their being locked up, it doesn't go nearly far enough to say that THESE immigrants are worth fighting for because their economic value is based on their relative wealth.

So you consider it downplaying, I consider it attempted betterment.

One can do some good (even for selfish reasons) and it can be commendable. One isn’t obliged to solve the entire problem.
