You compare the current influx of "immigrants" to those of the 20th century, never mentioning that those in the 20th century were legal and the current crop aren't. A bit disingenuous, don't you think? There must be a humane solution to illegal immigration, and deportation is one tool. Being nativist seems to be the default for human beings. Look at the migrations into Rome by the Germanic tribes. Again, there is nothing wrong with legal immigration, and if we need more people to come here we can liberalize the immigration laws. Just coming over the border is a crime, and should be treated as one.
Did Goldman specify whether these "legal" immigrant's legal entry was on a visa which they overstayed, or on a protected status program like the Venezuelans? In my mind, once your visa expires you're illegal. Doesn't matter from where. You are not legally in this country and should be encouraged to leave.

About 40 percent of the recent migrants (Biden administration) entered the country legally, per Goldman Sachs.
