Taylor, please recognize that ‘aliens’ is the pejorative word here; illegal immigrant is more accurate. Aliens has moved in the language to represent ‘outer space’, implying less than human. A subtle change, but important.
And you lose the strength of your position by referring to those with a differing position as ‘stupid’, also a pejorative word.
Love an insightful disagreement, politely presented.
