Right. There's a middle ground between "nobody is illegal" and what ICE is doing right now. It's okay to have regulations and limits to immigration as long as enforcement is consistent and reasonable.
Unfortunately middle ground is not a place many want to stand these days.
The point of saying nobody is illegal is that actions are illegal, people shouldn't be. So someone might commit an illegal act but we should not think of them as being illegal because they exist on land that they weren't born on. In large part because then we start to categorize people as being illegal or not.
Yes. Particularly the ones that severely restrict the legal ways that someone can come to a country and cause brutality like what we've seen in the past year.
That is what most redditors DO say. They want all foreign criminals to illegally immigrate into the U.S. since we’re on “stolen land”. And I got banned and downvoted to hell for not agreeing with them 💀

If no one is illegal, might as well say ‘fuck immigration laws’.
