Say what you will about Trump's implementations, but solving illegal immigration has been acknowledged as an important goal on both sides of the aisle for decades.
He hasn't shied from the challenge, and for better or worse he's certainly not lacking in earnestness.
Just allow everyone in so it's not illegal anymore. Problem solved.
American citizenship is not a universal Human Right. At least that's what most Americans believe.
As long as the country purports to be democratic, their views ought to be respected, however fringe they may seem by some standards.
Historically, it was open borders - as long as you had the correct skin color.
Ellis Island didn’t send anyone away - unless they had like TB or something.
In the 50’s - many Mexican Americans who were legally citizens were deported in “Operation Wetback.” Based on skin color/appearance - which matches with the reports of what ICE is doing now harassing Native Americans.
It’s never been about following rules, it’s always been about being the right kind of person
