I can imagine someone skiing in Switzerland crossing a national border and not realizing that they were suddenly in France or Italy. But those who enter the US from Mexico, especially those from further south, they know when they cross into the Us. They may have paid a coyote, a smuggler of humans, to show them where to cross, where to head once across the border. They know they are crossing the border, and they know they are doing it illegally.
Crossing into the US is a crime. So the new entry individual IS and illegal, He is a criminal.
In the late 1980s, I resided in NYC, and often listened to Public Radio's WNYC call-in program hosted by Lennie Lopate. The topic was immigration, and I called to complain about illegal immigrants. Lopate corrected me, that the station is no longer to use that phrase. Hereafter, they will be known as undocumented immigrants. I was not happy about the change, but told him I would refrain from using the illegal alien terms. Then I added, so I will discuss the unwanted invaders! I forget if he hung up on me or not. All major media soon got in step with the latest liberal version of Newspeak. Len and I had gone through a year of verbal battles as he defended Tawana Brawley, and I dared question her stories. After a year of her allegations of a white officer assault on her, she dropped it, and things were settled. Lopate and most liberals had supported her and her attorney, Al Sharpton, among others. Today, Wikipedia describes it as a "rape hoax".
Under Pres. Joe Biden, it seems the whole world was encouraged to come to the US. I maintain Biden aided and abetted a foreign invasion of this country; certainly grounds for impeachment. But the Dems, and some Republicans seem to be delighted as vast numbers entered our nation daily. And under Biden, secret night plane trips to take the illegals to small communities round the nation.
Trump's America First policies closed the southern border to most immigration. And he wants to deport the criminals. Trump speaks of the murderers and dope peddlers, BUT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE CRIMINALS, by definition. Some may be nice people just wanting a better chance - BUT THEY ARE CRIMINALS. They too should be deported to make room for more jobs for Americans, and lower rents for Americans, and provide more time in schools for American children. Deport the illegals, or have them self deport, and perhaps they may return, LEGALLLY, later.
So all Americans who believe in America First should support ICE, support the national guards if called up, and generally support a mass deportation policy. Also, with the removal of the illegals, it will be harder for Democrats to steal elections in future. Unfortunately, Democrats tend to support the illegals aliens, just as Democrats tend to support criminals.
Unfortunately, the Democratic Party has become the party of the criminals, by the criminals, and for the criminals. Deport the illegals, and cripple the Democratic Party.

Being old has its disadvantages, (I'm not going to present my list here), but some advantages also. When I was young, I recall discussions of immigration, and those wishing to come as immigrants might have to have a sponsor to insure that if allowed into the US, the immigrant would not become a drain on the public. Either the immigrant must show a certain amount of money to get in the US, or have a sponsor who will pay the immigrants debts if he fails to earn his way.
I note this because in the discussions about immigrants in Minnesota, newscasters have noted that a large percentage of the immigrants are on welfare. I forget if they said 30% or 50%, but it was a large pool of immigrants. My question is how did this happen? If on welfare, why are the not deported?
If former Pres. Joe Biden is responsible, and if he was corrupt as some say, make him the sponsor of these welfare immigrants, and make Biden pay for all the welfare granted to these immigrants. If the US began to raid Biden's accounts to pay for their welfare, I suspect he would quickly prefert that they be deported instead.
