While acknowledging the reality of mass deportations, Joyce distinguishes between individuals engaged in criminal activity and those who contribute positively to society. He advocates for addressing the status of law-abiding undocumented immigrants, suggesting a solution that balances the enforcement of immigration laws with compassion for established communities.
