3rd generation immigrant from both sides, all the amnesty "garbage" as you put it is a bit more nuanced than you present. Also you're reading like a migration version of the awful minimum wage argument "why should people get paid 15 dollars an hour when i only make 18????"

To be fair, amnesty is unfair garbage from his perspective. Student loan amnesty would be garbage from my perspective, BUT both are probably needed to some degree to keep our society stable. People just get raw when all their planning turns out to be for naught. Think of how angry Boomers would be if the government just let housing prices crash. Having a life plan is something built in to the weird brand of Protestantism that Americans subscribe to.
