"...would require Homeland Security to detain migrants arrested for burglary, theft, or shoplifting."

All things considered, you'll probably find a fair number of Democrats that are OK with this. 48 House Democrats are, and that does reflect something about the base as well. If you immigrated illegally I can still somehow work with you. If you immigrated illegally and are now commiting property crimes, I'm having less empathy.

OK, they're poor, broke, and resorting to crime as a last ditch effort. A compromise might have to be made to detain them, house them, feed them until we figure this out because the overall population isn't going to be OK with this and the optics for Democrats will look terrible pretending it's fine and acceptable.
