    Why did Trump pardon all of the informants?

    Most Americans don't have an issue with immigrants. The issue are illegal immigrants, 11 million of them. Let me put that in perspective. The EU's estimates are about half that. The National Institute of Health has a paper discussing this and this is what they say about it:

    International Examples of Undocumented Immigration and the Affordable Care Act - PMC

    I bolded the important part. Now before you say it's a Trump admin study, you are absolutely wrong. In fact, this study was done during the Obama administration in 2014. That's 11 years ago so imagine the update to these numbers today. Notice the bolded part about birthers. Even the NIH back in 2014 saw an issue with it because that is leading to even larger numbers of undocumented immigrants which places a massive burden on our health care system.

    So, many liberals have proposed just making them all legal or advocating for open borders thinking that would solve our problems. Nope, it would make them far far worse.

    https://cis.org/Immigration-Studies/How-Many-Would-Really-Come-if-Borders-Were-Open

    There was a poll done back in 2019 that at the time was the largest poll in human history. It asked nearly 2 Billion people outside the US if they would do everything possible to migrate to the US if we had open borders. 158,000,000 said yes and these are individual numbers, if you extrapolate based on families, it's closer to 750,000,000 that would flood to the US. I don't have to go into detail what that would look like. It took 64 years for 12,000,000 to immigrate to the US during the Great Migration. If liberals were to see this, they would change their minds pretty quickly, but notice none of the liberal media outlets ever talk about this.

    So you're just going to ignore the immigration bills that were proposed when Obama and Biden were in office. I'd like to add that when Obama was in office the bill was partially written by Republicans.

    Also, you typed all of that and still didn't comment on Trump's new change in terms of ignoring certain groups of undocumented

    It's weird that there are American adults who actually believe this.

    Unless by "making them legal" you mean some kind of guest worker program.

    Also, "open borders" is just a meaningless catch phrase from the guy who told us that immigrants were eating the dogs and cats. You have to update your talking points before being worthy of debate.
