I'm not sure about the archetypical American liberal, but this Canadian social democrat wants the government larger in terms of social welfare and smaller in terms of corporate welfare.

How about exclusively engaged in keeping the peace, protecting the borders and punishing crime?

There are only three areas in which government should operate:

The police
The courts
The military.

No welfare. Period.

Keeping the peace requires a strong state of well-being for the overall populace; social welfare.

Why deport them when you can put them in brand new prisons then hire them out to local cronies as slave labor
