My goodness, that's a shallow take /quote

1) BEING there without permission is illegal. It's not merely crossing the border, which is simple trespass, but remaining, which is occupation.

2) most illegal immigrants aren't looking to work and live in another country. They're looking to acquire resources from that country for the betterment of their 'home' country, much like Russia wants Ukraine for the betterment of Russia, not Ukraine.

3) They take jobs, resources, oversight... I'd say that military forces are about as likely, perhaps less, since at least there is SOME oversight of them to commit crimes locally. Illegal aliens quite often operate outside the law... unaided by their protections, opening them to exploitation... but also unbridled by their limitations, opening them to exploit.

4) they bring that entire premise of operating 'around' the law to our children through schools.

This liberal fantasy of these throngs of poor migrant family seeking to live a better life in America is greatly overshadowed by the human traffickers, the criminals, the drug mules, those seeking to exploit the US for their local benefit. All of the resources required to manage those people, we would be VASTLY more happy to expend to help those relative few who truly want to be here.

If it weren't so, we could easily have greatly expanded the resources for LEGAL entry including processing, monitoring and vetting to address all of those who fit the description above, while agreeing to keep the others out. Biden, Pelosi et al haven't done that though... neither did Obama, Pelosi et al.

It's a great story they spin and I believe that people like you honestly believe it... and are well intended... but you're being played by your own elected officials, and they'd rather have you 'mad' at us, rather than them. They extort power from you.
