If they have no place to migrate back to, and they don’t meet the overly stringent qualifications to be allowed asylum, why would we “really want to keep them out?” Right now, people are risking their lives to cross the southern border, so I assume they are extremely desperate (fleeing conditions they are unable to survive in and/or violence). The asylum courts in Texas often have toddlers (1/3 of asylum seekers are children) appear in court by themselves, without counsel, to try to defend themselves.
The biggest “issue” I see with immigration is that it’s criminalized, which allows the horrible exploitation of their labor (whether farm, factory, construction, or sex work).
