If trump ordered ICE to use the pandemic as an excuse to round up undocumented immigrants, he’d be blasted across almost all of the American political spectrum. Besides, undocumented immigrants aren’t getting stimulus funds. You have to file with an SSN to get a check, not the ITIN they use.

Ugh.. liberal double speak.

It's ILLEGAL ALIEN.

Calling them undocumented is just a flat out lie.. they are illegally in this country.

Calling them an immigrant is also a flat out lie.. they illegally entered the country therefore they are an ALIEN.. an immigrant is someone that legally enters a country.

It's an especially hot topic for me because my mother is German and had to enter the US legally.

Two different things.
Undocumented only means they are here and did not present documents when questioned.  Maybe they came legally, but misplaced their documents.
As soon as authorities contact a suspect, they can see that the suspect is "undocumented."
When they are "rounded up," usually, they are undocumented.  The authorities usually don't even know their names yet.
The authorities have to investigate, ask questions, before they can determine that the suspect actually is an illegal immigrant or not.
