Yes I live in a "sanctuary city" that has a significantly lower crime rate than many Red US cities.
Yes I place significant value on the myriad of positive market- and non-market based interactions I've had throughout my life with classmates, neighbors, friends, street vendors, & etc, some of whom may very well have been "illegal" or had family that had that designation.
And as an individualist rather than a collectivist, I'm not about to create demographic categories of human beings to say "these people are more dangerous than those people, therefore the State should restrict their freedom of movement."
Even if that were the case, which I don't believe it generally is in the case of immigrants.

I didn't say immigrants, I said illegal immigrants. But I would probably argue there would be other categories of cultural compatability to take into account, levels of animosity to the host nation, an erosion of a sense of place, rooted ess of native populations, whose opinions are disregarded (despite continually democratic votes against this policy) in favour of globalist sludge. None of this really matters in a nice bubble tho. But you'll find this actually a common and popular opinion amongst immigrants themselves who do not wish it in their adopted homelands (and even more strongly in the original homelands).
The US situation is probably fairly different. But I think you live in a nice little bubble from the sounds of it.
'enrichment' usually at a level of 'think of the yummy food' and 'my cab driver was so nice yesterday'.
