"If you are in the country illegally, you are on the table"
Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
You people and businesses need to understand you can't build quality of life by using semi slave work
Another point you missed, to join on the dogpile, is that all immigration, of all kinds, for any and every country, is a net economic benefit.
Its shooting yourself in the foot, purely monetarily, economically, fiscally speaking, for ideological-only reasons.

What you're pretending to miss is that those in powers are making sure that those people remain "illegal" , on purpose. In the first place, you're the one creating the situation of them being "in the country illegally".
The correct solution is to give them papers, not to deport them and treat them like criminals for a situation you put them in. Remember that the "you're on the table" argument that you claim is reasonable is putting them in prison where you can exploit them harder as slaves, it's only one step after what's happening to them already.
Everyone can be illegal if you don't make anyone legal and then claim they're only getting punished because they broke the law. There's nothing reasonable there.
citizenship for all
Let me put it to you this way.
If we really cared about people in the country illegally, we'd aim for having people who hire these people under the table, also illegally, sanctioned. If you were honestly wanting to see less illegal immigration, you'd be deterring them from ever coming in by drying up the supply of under-the-table, low-paying jobs that attract them here. Maybe by advocating for a 10 x median annual salary for every undocumented worker found on your staff, enforced strongly?
If you can't find it in your soul to do that, then all you're here for is smashing disadvantaged people in the face.
make the penalty payable to the immigrants being exploited and they'll get exposed fast
Yeah, because sending them to guantanamo, children and women included, is so humane. Good thing they won't be in America where they are 'slaves'.
