So do it legally and live. Compassion is fine as long as it’s not at the taxpayers expense.
Congress has decided the legal qualifications ... and yet, the POTUS has them on ignore. From where I sit the only issue is with the possibility of migrants breaking the law, but the POTUS is free to do it all day long at the taxpayer expense and it's okay. As long as he keep 'those' people out, its all good.

Work on securing the boarder (not with a stupid wall...but better technology like drones) and only deport those that commit crimes...have a pathway to citizenship for every one that is currently here illegally and then make it much simpler to get approved to immigrate here legally.
It would be interesting to look at the cost of deporting all illegals versus making them citizens. I bet rounding up all illegals across the USA would be astronomical. Federal workers could milk those bucks big time with all the "Overtime" across the country. Not to mention all the staffing up these agencies would need in order to effectively pull it off.
All the court cases, challenges, countries declining to take their citizens, on and on and on. I could see it costing >100 billon easy, and you better believe those agencies will find a need to keep the additional funding and personal. A new government jobs program that will never end.
Versus securing the border and provide a 1 time path to those already here post securing. Seems like common sense but that's not so common anymore.
That's the question no one wants to even consider. The dollars involved plus the amount of time it would take is why it is rarely mentioned.
Factor in the employers who want illegals and it is easy to see mass deportation will never happen.

Stupid wall? Where the good walls have been erected already is has cut back illegal entry by 90%. If walls are so stupid than why do we have them around our homes and businesses?
No, no pathway to citizenship for any illegal aliens they need to be deported as our laws state. We have annual quotas already for legal immigrants and that would negate that sane policy for years to come. We don't need an easier way for them to come here legally as we don't need any more above our annual quotas in place already.
All illegal aliens commit crimes. How are they working if not by using a fake or stolen SS number or working for cash evading taxes? Those are felonies!! Law breakers should never be rewarded and Americans need their jobs back. Removing them from our society would alleviate our over crowded schools, jails, healthcare facilities, neighborhoods and roads. It will lessen the depletion of our natural and social resources also.

"Trump’s failure to comply with the Constitution matters."
Next OnT Flores Agreement congress passed in 1997 which is in essence immigration reform; one must go through Congress to change the law, but not the Donald ...
Not only does he bypass it, but he wants the ability to detain all migrants indefinitely and totally remove any protection the Flores gives to people including due process. Also, in utilizing the objections of the people on migration, he is increasing the number of private prisons in the u.s. as if the u.s doesn't haven enough of them already, as the u.s. ranks number one in the number of people incarcerated. "For four decades, the U.S. has been engaged in a globally unprecedented experiment to make every part of its criminal justice system more expansive and more punitive."
So rather than discuss the elephant in the room, people's attention is on the people who may or may not be entering the country illegally, and totally blind to the human rights violations of their nation.
When the bell tolls ... (and yes, there is history, just ask any American citizen whose name ended in the flavor of the day)

No different then when dems did it and you didn't complain abut THEM, why?
"On June 15, 2012, then-Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano issued a memorandum entitled “Exercising Prosecutorial Discretion with Respect to Individuals Who Came to the United States as Children,” creating a non-congressionally authorized administrative program that permitted certain individuals who came to the United States as juveniles and meet several criteria—including lacking any current lawful immigration status—to request consideration of deferred action for a period of two years, subject to renewal, and eligibility for work authorization. This program became known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
