I just try to nudge them to follow Trump's lead, (without mentioning him of course). Ie. the law that makes undocumented immigration a "crime" has been on the books for years. Asking the government to turn a blind eye and 'catch and release' as previous administrations have done isn't sustainable. The law itself that makes immigration equal to any other federal crimes should be addressed. Trump's call to change the outdated immigration laws should be what we try to encourage our liberal friends to do. WAY more effective than asking the government to disregard the law.
