These people are disgusting individuals. They don't actually want to deport all immigrants. They want to solidify immigrants as second class citizens. Why do you think Trump picked a easily passable wall to build? The wall is a symbol of oppression, not a actual piece of infrastructure meant for safety.
I grew up in a farm town. The "illegal" immigrants that were my neighbors and friends weren't sent from insane asylums or rapist. They were normal ass people fleeing 500 years of colonialism, exploitative profiteering, western interventions, and outsourced violence due to "the war on drugs." When the local immigrants started to complain about the dangerous working conditions and low pay, all the farmers and businesses banded together and got most of them deported. The farmers and businesses were already working on getting replacements from Haiti and Ethiopia. Fast forward a few years and the new immigrants started to complain about the poor working conditions and pay. Rinse and repeat. They tried finding another exploitable population to import but couldn't find any none white and Christian people. Apparently, black and Muslim was just a step too far.
Most of the small farms and businesses were bought out by large corporations or went belly up and now these old people are fucking bitter. They march around the town with their Trump flags and hats complaining about how immigrants destroyed our town and harassing any immigrant that decide/were able to stay. I'm not even joking. These people aren't mad that immigrants are here, they are mad immigrants want to be treated like human beings.
