Millions of illegal immigrants have come into the United States under the Biden/Harris administration. Thousands of these illegal immigrants have criminal backgrounds, endangering the safety of American citizens. At the same time, law-abiding, undocumented immigrants constitute a portion of the American workforce – working on farms picking fruits and vegetables, working in food processing plants, and so on.
If a mass deportation program were to be implemented, a tiered structure may be preferrable, whereby undocumented immigrants from North America (Canada and Mexico) could be deprioritized, or granted an amnesty of sorts. On the other hand, illegal immigrants from outside North America (and especially those who have entered into the U.S. within the past 4 years) could be first on the list for deportation. This would have the advantage of minimizing disruptions to the American labor force, while still reducing the number of illegal immigrants in the United States.
Canada and Mexico both share a border with the United States, and to a certain extent share similar cultural norms and understandings. Given this, it makes sense to deprioritize deportation (or grant amnesty) for undocumented immigrants from North America. This would allow for a middle-of-the-road approach to the deportation of illegal immigrants in the United States that would reduce disruptions to labor markets and businesses, while still dealing with the excessive number of illegal immigrants who have entered into our country.
