I think that Trump and his party are driven purely by personal benefit and greed. The policies of Trump and his cronies reflect this and show how they want to control all the wealth among a ruling class. However, I don’t see how deporting immigrants (employees) would help this cause
Are they doing this for popular support? Why would they prioritize xenophobia over capital? Is it simply that they’re hateful and scared?
White nationalism.
Notice how DEI has become a dog whistle for the N word? Some asshole on the right recently referred to someone else’s wife as a DEI wife. I mean, what??
Since they haven’t figured out a way to deport all the black citizens of this country, they want us to know that they really hate all brown people no matter if they’re here legally or not. So their hatred compels them to act like their true selves and try to kick out whoever they possibly can. They’re awful people, and history will remember them for it.
But you still got it in one, it really does boil down to them being hateful and scared.
