It's infuriating to see so many people completely miss the point and refuse to understand why a legal immigrant would be against illegal immigration.

Indeed. People would rather meme than understand why these people end up voting the way they do. 90% of what Trump says are lies, but he’s building off the 10% of real problems that exist in the country, such as broken immigration.

There’s a difference between illegal and illegal immigration. However, what faith do you have the MAGA crowd wouldn’t eventually use the vast infrastructure needed to detain the undocumented to detain US citizens?

Trump is running a campaign on straight vengeance. He’s been urged to use the Insurrection Act to quell protests in Project 2025. He wanted to do so during BLM protests but was restrained. That restraint won’t be there and it’s not clear the courts can or will provide protection.
