Legal citizens get deported, too:
ICE May Have Deported as Many as 70 US Citizens In the Last Five Years (article from 2021, long before our newfound deportation craze): https://immigrationimpact.com/2021/07/30/ice-deport-us-citizens/
Trump immigration raids snag U.S. citizens, including Native Americans, raising racial profiling fears: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/trump-immigration-raids-citizens-profiling-accusations-native-american-rcna189203
The point is not the food, but that our country needs to start relearning to accept immigrants as people. When my ancestors entered the US they did it 100% legally because there were no immigration restrictions; they walked off the boat and got started with their new lives. The bar has been raised dramatically, and I can't say that has been good for much other than fueling xenophobia.
