The people who support consideration, sympathy, or compassion for immigrants do so from practical, self-interest, and/or moral/humanitarian reasons. They argue that we cannot close our doors to people who are desperate or in dire need. We have to find a way to take them in, and/or provide opportunities for them to better their lives.
Additionally, the perception of some American citizens is that some immigrants are not nice. American citizens often feel slighted, humiliated, and disrespected by some of them. Personally, I have felt this way, too. Years ago, we had to boycott Korean stores because of the abusive treatment.
On June 23, 2016, the Supreme Court ended in a 4:4 tie regarding President Barack Obama's signature program for assisting illegal or undocumented immigrants in the USA. The inability of the Court to decide means that the issue will be sent back to the lower courts. The lower courts had decided that President Obama overstepped his authority.
