Idk, I wouldn't carry one across the border any more than I'd take one with me to a drug deal
You’re gonna love when you learn about Sentient.
Don’t google it probably.
That depends on the country we're talking about. I wouldn't do it in authoritarian countries. But in the USA or other western countries for example, they usually don't use their total surveillance technology to pursue minor and ordinary crimes. That's mainly reserved for terrorism. You could end up in trouble by chance. But I'm not aware of any routines that connect cell tower data to deport immigrants. I'm not saying they can't do it, they certainly already have the data ready to analyze. It's just that it doesn't happen to date. So your chances of getting persecuted are low. And a phone is a very useful device to carry around. (And strictly speaking, all phones leak your position and lots of personal information. If that's valuable to someone, they shouldn't carry a connected phone with them. Regardless of the situation.)
It's pretty naive to believe, after everything in Project 2025, and after everything that Trump has said, that they will not use these powers in their upcoming mass deportations program.
As soon as manufacturing (of which a significant portion is food processing!) starts losing shifts and closing due to not having enough employees they'll see the shortages and flip pretty fast. Manufacturing jobs rely heavily on immigrant labor because nobody wants to work in factories despite the pretty good pay and benefits, so the only people who do work in factories are the people who simply can't get better jobs.

Despite recent events with certain groups using "dangerous illegal immigrants" for political gain. Almost all illegals just want to live and not cause problems. Not only are they not dangerous they serve a much needed function in the economy.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
