    Immigrant. Nothing at all.

    Illegal immigrant - then you’re asking the wrong question. You should be asking why having second class citizens with exploitable cheap labor is bad.

    Absolutely no one is arguing for anti immigration.

      Stephen Miller and a number of GOP leaders are demanding that legal immigration be frozen or reduced.

          They are 100% anti immigrant. Because the current GQP admin wants to get rid of birthright citizenship. Which should ring alarm bells for everyone, since that also affects citizens.

              The first Trump shutdown in the first term happened because Trump scrapped the existing Republican/Democrat deal made in Congress and demanded that there also be cuts to legal immigration in addition to the agreed-upon wall funding and increased ICE budget.

              “Trump’s policy doesn’t make sense so it must be fake news” is a bad way to cope with reality. He broke his campaign promise, simple as that.

      Illegal immigrants aren’t citizens. And people who support brutalizing them don’t give a fuck about their wellbeing.

        Second class citizens will always be vulnerable to such exploitation, that’s the argument against allowing them in the first place.
