The immigrants I know tend NOT to be sympathetic to "illegals". Granted, a very small dataset. I know a few Latino immigrants, and a lot of Asian ones. Almost without exception, they support legal immigration. Most also seem to support applying for asylum, since many know that third-world countries can be dangerous places (wars, gangs, cartels, political imprisonment or assassination, etc). Even the harshest of those folks wouldn't have approved of separating families.

But I think all of them would be in favor of a reform. Nothing that would allow everyone a free pass, but something that establishes a sensible migrant worker system/visa**. My ex-employer utilized a e-verify system run by USCIS to make sure all employees were legal at all times. Expanding that to make it a requirement for all employers doesn't seem that much of a stretch. From what I know of my immigrant former colleagues views, they had no problem with that.

I think a few of them were in favor of "The Wall", but most were not because they realized it just wouldn't work (and would cost way too much, to boot). But even then, that would have been coupled with sensible reforms.

I know you live in a household that likely has some strong opinions. Am I wrong in thinking that they would be along similar lines?

I think it somewhat ironic that if the Republicans softened on immigration, supported reforms, they would get a LOT of new voters. Latinos tend to be pretty conservative, most coming from Catholic backgrounds. They mostly agree with Republican morality stances, just not immigration in particular.

**There already is one, but that system is cumbersome and inefficient.
