    Usually, yes
    Because usually the reason they have to be illegal is racist, and the person complaining about illegal immigration is fine with it.

      Where are you coming from with “the reason they have to be illegal is racist”? If you wouldn’t mind clarifying.

        Kind of like how a lot of anti-poor laws in the USA were targeting former slaves without actually saying it, and poor-white people were collateral damage.

        Why would they be migrating illegally when migrating legally would clearly be better for them?
