Final budget number is $170 billion for ICE. …. versus $8 billion budget for ICE currently. Considering that ICE ran out of "dangerous criminals" immediately and started raiding work sites and courthouses, you really have to wonder why they need such a massive budget...

That's the thing though... immigration in the US is under control. The main reason why there are so many undocumented people in the US is because the paperwork process is so slow... and that's USCIS not ICE. Honestly man, with $170B, I think way more people than just undocumented immigrants are going to be targeted.

I dont think i’ll agree with the statement under control, if people keep crossing the border. And being undocumented still means they came in illegally in the first place documentation after breaking the law doesn’t and shouldn’t change that

What exactly is the issue with people coming to the USA illegally? They come to work and with hopes of a better life? The reason I am asking is because I have a hard time understanding why this is a problem when there are a lot of digital nomads moving to Mexico and doing the same. They might enter the country “legally” with a tourist visa but then stay there and live there. Is it the amount of people that is the issue?

2. Asides the underground crime rate Alot of these illegals are running away from their countries because they have been wanted of some crime (if they applied legally they wouldn’t pass the background check) - so thats basically like a backdoor for dangerous criminals from different countries. 3. Illegals who are just regular family people and enter the country to look for jobs, still hurt the economy in their own little way by driving down wages. They will take any job at any pay just to survive, this makes it easier for employers to take advantage of their situation and offer inhumane wages that no one else will take and also means quality less work for low income Americans

I don't think the numbers support your second point. The vast majority of people crossing the border illegally are fleeing gang or political violence. If a family has been threatened by a gang, if they seek refugee status in the US they have to stay in Mexico where they may not be safe. In terms of the economics, you're right... but it does also mean cheaper prices for citizens for vegetables, construction, etc. There are lots of jobs immigrants do, like fruit picking, that Americans are just completely unwilling to do. I truly think that $170B to ICE would be way better spent on USCIS instead.
