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.
