    I’m an immigrant and US citizen that’s lived here for 28 years. These people (republicans) have done nothing but demonize people like me for as long as I can remember, and it’s getting more and more hateful every year. We are just people who want to live peacefully and give back through our hard work. We came here thinking that this was a multi-cultural and freedom-loving nation. Instead we are constantly reminded of the hateful hypocrisy in many Americans whose family immigrated here not long before us.

      The saddest part is that many immigrants who received their citizenship are the most hateful towards migrants and new immigrants.

    If that were true then we should elect the president with the best track record for criminal prosecution and/or deportation of immigrants: Joseph Biden.

    Trump’s ineffective policy led to more detentions, including children separated from their families, but less convictions.

      Oh, but you’re forgetting something: the cruelty is the point. They don’t actually care if the policy is effective. They want to, and enjoy, hurting groups that they don’t like.

        Even the most stalwart xenophobe would feel conflicted when you force them to weigh raping murdering hash slinging slashers being free on the streets against not punishing innocent subhumans.

    Given that nearly every word he says about other people is projection respectively admission of guilt, I wonder who he has eaten recently…

    Is anyone of his lawyer team missing?

      It’s not ignorant — it’s studied as a method of stirring up anger and resentment in a way that leads to social permission for violence.
