Removal is warranted, but is it the right thing to do? Is it a net benefit to the country to remove undocumented immigrants? Even setting aside the morality of ripping families apart and treating immigrants as inhumanely as they are being treated right now, consider that immigrants; Commit less violent crime than native born US citizens Pay billions in taxes, contributing to programs and services they themselves are not eligible to benefit from.  Work jobs and spend their money in the US, stimulating the economy with labor and spending. Immigrants who are not committing any other crimes other than the unlawful entry or overstaying in the nation, who work jobs, pay taxes, spend money, and build families are contributing to American society in a positive way. Wouldnt it make more sense to instead make the pathway to citizenship easier for these folks? Now consider the financial cost to track down, arrest, and remove these individuals, who are not committing any other crimes and are contributing to our economy and society. And ask yourself, does this really make sense? And that is to say nothing of the abhorrent practice of denying due process, and sending some of these people who have never been convicted of any crime, to a life sentence in a torture prison outside of US jurisdiction.
