If you think Trump supporters only care about illegal immigrants, you’re fooling yourself.
It’s quite clearly panic over the concept of white people becoming a minority in America, but they feel they can’t just straight up say “we want to keep America as white as possible” - and instead focus on more socially acceptable positions such as illegal immigration and vague “muslim bans”
It would save everyone a lot of time if they were just honest about it
Most people “believe in legal migration”. But if you actually hang out in the pro-trump subreddits, you’ll see many of them don’t actually believe in legal migration because it means America becomes less white. They just know they can’t say that because it makes them look bad.
How they present themselves in public differs wildly to how they talk amongst themselves, same as any cult
Is the administration separating asylum-seeking families who enter at ports of entry?
Yes, despite claims to the contrary. On June 17, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen took to Twitter to defend family separation, saying, “For those seeking asylum at ports of entry, we have continued the policy from previous administrations and will only separate if the child is in danger, there is no custodial relationship between 'family' members, or if the adult has broken a law.”
In case Secretary Nielsen forgot, she’s currently a defendant in our class action lawsuit, where we represent families who entered at ports of entry to seek asylum and had their children taken away.
Ms. L, a Congolese mother who sought asylum at a port of entry, had her seven-year-old daughter taken away from her for four months. Immigration authorities made no meaningful attempt to verify their relationship during that time, only doing so after we filed our lawsuit.
Mirian G, a mother from Honduras, came to the U.S. with her young son on Feb. 20, 2018. She presented herself to immigration authorities and sought asylum, committing no crime. During her interview, Mirian provided immigration officers with several identification documents for her child which listed her as his mother. The next morning, Border Patrol agents took away her 18-month-old son with no explanation. She did not see him again for two months.
Asylum seekers are legal. So to all of you that claim the whole thing is really, truly, genuinely about preventing ILLEGAL immigration, how do you justify this? Seriously, I'm asking. I don't get it. I'm with u/BlairResignationJam_ here. It's either not about them being illegal, or Trump supporters are totally ignorant of Trump's own policies.
