This is a MAGA talking point so there are people who agree with your take. I think that is an unreasonable and ridiculous position given its impossibility. In light of how much the US benefits from immigration overall, it’s also shortsighted.

Zero immigrant crime is absolutely impossible, I agree, but targeting zero crime should be an immigration policy goal. Enshrining some moral obligation to help the rest of the world into law is wrong.

Again, you’re repeating MAGA talking points. Targeting zero crime is code for restricting legal immigration via Byzantine immigration requirements. Moreover, the goal has been largely achieved: immigrants are significantly less likely to commit crimes than Americans [1], [2]. Your last sentence is nonsensical in the current context.
