After having gone through the process of trying to help an Indian trans person find a job in my country in order to allow them to get here legally and having found the requirements being draconic, I don't care about anyone illegally moving to a country as long as they behave respectfully, which they most usually do because conflicts where the police gets involved are more likely to get them deported. Do I want them to pay taxes? Sure, but the extent to which they're able to pay taxes depends on the country deciding to regularize their status.

    Rules are rules and if you don't follow them, the country doesn't want you.

    It's a different conversation when you talk about the consequences of such policies, but that's what the country decided and those are the rules.

    A bit tangential, but there are a lot of cases when the country doesn't want you, especially if you listen to the opinion of the officials. They are quick to judge one to be too poor, too old, too stupid, too smart, too demanding, too questioning their decisions, etc.
