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?

          I know I’m just talking to a troll, but I’m still going to take this opportunity to remind everyone that LBJ pissed off the white supremacist voters by signing the Civil Rights Act, and then Nixon immediately courted those same voters for his Presidential campaign. When Democrats shooed out the clowns, Republicans decided to open up a circus.
