My outlet published a piece some months back that argued the phenomenon of illegal entry into the US and the threat of deportation is a form of entrapment. Migrants are lured into the US through a “nod-nod, wink-wink policy of looking the other way" precisely because we Americans know the essential role they play in the functioning of our economy. "To suddenly do an about-face in wanting them out of here, uprooting their American lives built on hard labor, is an act of entrapment." So, I'm not sure the analogy to murder necessarily stands here, though I am no legal expert. https://ethnicmediaservices.org/oped/what-part-of-illegal-dont-you-understand/
I don’t think illegal entry is the same as murder either. But I think the “entrapment” analogy is probably even more flawed. The agent luring and the agent deporting are not the same.
I do agree that the whole regime is a way of disciplining labor. Deportation-as-threat is a good way to get a pliable labor force.
I'm not so sure about that. Look at the political power of big ag to sway Congress, for example. They're now pressuring Trump to lay off farmworkers in the whole mass deportation campaign. The line between luring and deporting agent doesn't seem as cut and dry to me.
