    It has nothing to do with political correctness. It's a matter of (dis)respecting people on the basis of race. And that's not a matter of wordplay or ass-covering, it's life or death.

    One side is for totally open borders
    I think you would be hard-pressed to find many in the Democratic party who wants that. What you might have noticed is that the Left (as opposed to Democratic politicians in power) is increasingly unwilling to harshly punish people who actually do make it in for the mere fact of lacking authorization to be here.

    Also, ICE is a flat-out scary organization.

    Makes it very difficult for people such as myself that want merit or skills based immigration.
    The same conservative wellspring could then suggest the argument: 'We're importing educated people to the detriment of their homelands, educated people who will edge out our own high-skilled labor, whose education likely cost much more compared to the immigrants'. These skilled and educated immigrants will furthermore have at best a mercenary attitude toward this country, being here to maximize their own profit, and finding it difficult to shift over their extended family networks from their home country toward permanent resettlement and integration.'

    The point of immigration shouldn't be to make money for millionaires and international elites. Whether you believe in the brotherhood of mankind, an American exceptionalist legacy, or our overall social and economic health from a narrow national perspective, we need a wide spectrum of permanent immigration in the long term.

    Wide in terms of nationality of origin, age, gender, education and skillset, etc.
