Yes.
Why? Dems just won a massive election and immigration was one of the main topics.
Is there a moral reason that they are more worthy? The legal immigration system now is MUCH easier than it was then.
There were no immigration laws until the 1880s and then only on Asians.
How is it easier today?
I think the main issue is that there is a long bureaucratic wait (something conservatives are supposedly against)
The people from the caravan want to cross the border legally and claim asylum, but the wait is so long that some have crossed the border illegally and turned themselves in to CBP
The trump administration has taken actions to limit legal immigration too.
