I'm of a similar bent. I can see expanding our -legal- immigration plans by quite a bit, especially for ag workers and other positions that Americans are largely unwilling to work for at anywhere near the current pay rates. I don't have a problem with greatly tightening down the border and "remain on the other side" while they have their asylum cases reviewed. I do take issue with dreamers and treating people who are already here like straight up criminals, especially if they are well acclimated and contributing, not causing trouble. I think the current regime is doing it with too heavy of a hand, but that ultimately the sheer scale of it will make them make better choices because of limited money and resources. We also don't need to expand the H1B visa program, it's about the right size currently. There are plenty American STEM workers to take on those roles.
