Can two things not be true at once? There are indeed "illegal immigrants", AND the current methods of enforcement are some straight up gestapo-BS in which themselves also illegal and warrant non-compliance. Why is this an either-or?

The America I grew up in is fervently against kings, as a defining principle, and put the lawmaking powers purposefully in the hands of not the president, but in the representatives of the people. Unless you straight-up buy Nixon's view that "[...] when the president does it… that means that it is not illegal.", and maybe you do, this view doesn't pass any kind of scrutiny what-so-ever...

Godwin invoked. Decades of zero enforcement of the law, and you are complaining when the law is implemented. There would be no need for peaceful enforcement if the criminals did not use violence. Nor would it be necessary if there was not a paid and organized paramilitary wing devoted to overthrowing the US and installing the Democrat party as the single party state party.

"fervently against kings" You just repeat anything the machine spouts out. A democratically elected president is not a king. How did Kamala, a swipe of pen, get the nomination again?
