Immigrants are welcome in America, but we do not have an open border. We have an immigration process that must be followed, just like every other country on Earth.
Violating the immigration process is breaking the law. Enforcing our laws is not “unjustly persecuting” people.
If you can’t be intellectually honest and distinguish between illegal and legal immigration, or the fact that the U.S. does not have an open border and US citizens overwhelmingly do not want an open border with the rest of the world, there’s no basis for a conversation.
