Even without such considerations, these policies fail on their own terms. Deterrence policies have not succeeded at durably reducing unauthorized migration, nor have they produced order at the U.S. border.

Depends on your party. For Republicans deterrence st the border is great for whipping your constituents into a vitriolic rage.
