What kind of persond delights in seeing other people's misery when they're literally trying to follow the law for legal immigration.

I mean, it seems beyond sociopath. Sociopath is lacking empathy, but to delight in someone else’s misery.. it’s psychotic.

Curious if you mean psychopathic?

I mean, it's easy to joke that Republicans suffer from psychoses (hallucinations and delusions) but in the context of extreme antisocial behavior and lack of empathy, psychopathic might be the right word.

Literally a dangerous psycopath.

This is basically 'tortured kittens to death as a kid' level shit.

If you made a TV show or Movie where a character did this, people would say it was heavy handed and lacked subtlely, it is too over the top, it isn't a well written bad guy (gal) character, it's schlocky.

Sociopathic phychosis, to narrow it down a little more.

It's that lack of empathy that seems like the initial trigger.

Edit: Sadistic sociopathic psychosis.

They tell themselves the people deserve it.

We have many technical words for this. Sociopath comes to mind first.
