No. The Borg are hive minded super being invaders. Illegal immigrants are not.

1. Shows a near utopian idea of humanity, where medicine and technology are so advanced they traverse life/death and space/time.
I.e. boring as fuck unrealistic post-scarcity.
2. Constant exploration and new species/stories with some very novel ideas. Such as the enterprise being drained of power by energy based parasitic beings. Or an android building his own child and teaching it the ways of humanity. Or literal deities who put humanity on trial. Or the captain of the ship being absorbed by a hive mind of technological terrors, and returning from those depths. So many insane concepts all neatly wrapped into short episodes.
Not as creative as Twilight Zone
3. The characters are near faultless and great examples of what everyone should strive to be. Strong, intelligent, empathetic, motivated. Picard is a fucking God among humans.
So what, I'm faultless and a great example of what everyone should strive to be but for fiction that means boring ass unrealistic Mary Sues. This is what makes Superman such a shitty character.
4. The lore is insane (no, not Lore) and really in depth. Also its very open to new concepts. It isn't some closed off fantasy world. Always something new to be learned or discovered.
Gay.
5. Covers some heavy and complex topics that actually make you think.
Philosophy for insects who don't read basically.
It's cheesy as fuck yes, but it's one of the best shows in the world imo. I have watched through the entire series 3 times. There is something calming about it. Everything works out. Humanity is always strong. People are good. It's really an ideal world, and something i hope humans can one day achieve.
Would move to Risa in a heartbeat.
Sounds like you want to rationalize your enjoyment of hacky old television. TNG is basically a worse version of the classic Dr Who.
Star Trek is an implicitly white show. The Starfleet is basically just the British Navy of the colonial era. I'm sure something that appeals to Trekkies is how the crew of the enterprise are so welcoming to those who are different from themselves - Trekkies tend to be complete freaks. And every species is accepted in Star Trek, even Klingons, even dumb sperg robot androids, all they need to do is ask and they will be treated as one of the crew, no matter what their fore-head wrinkles.

The British Navy literally did not get one 32nd of a fuck about anything remotely resembling the Prime Directive and weren't benevolent.

How is the Prime Directive benevolent? It was just Roddenberry's lame attempt to explain why aliens haven't contacted us yet.

The original Star Trek had creatures that would put its furry suction-cup hands on your face and suck all the salt out of your body. Or ones that would fly into your back and hook on and burrow a tentacle up to your brain and you would then become its living host. Or giant horned computerized doomsday machines that could consume entire solar systems in a single sitting and also travel at warp 9. Nothing boring about that. Never mind the tribbles.
