I have yet to see any coherent explanation of why someone should support the accursed institutions. I don't expect to. All borders are tools of the ruling class.
The most common reason people support anti-immigrant policies seems to be because they are racial/national supremacists. It's no secret that many anti-immigrant groups, such as AmRen, are neo-Nazi front groups, and the Arizona law was written by neo-Nazis and their allies. And that's where the deliberately-dehumanizing rhetoric ['Untermenchsen,' 'anchor babies,' etc.] comes from.
The next most common reason seems to be authoritarianism. Many people think other people should need permission from the ruling class to exercise basic human rights such as speech or travel. Maybe that's where this obsession with whether someone followed the right procedures and fits within the quotas.
The next most common reason seems to be, as I'd mentioned above, the belief that there is some morally-justifiable reason to treat people born on the other side of some border differently from people born on the same side of that border. But how could there be?
And that leaves aside the problem that I would be collateral damage from most documentation-based 'solutions' to the nonproblem.
