Why indeed.
(I could answer the question for you very accurately, but I doubt that you’ll find that answer in any way helpful to your goal of making assholes squirm)
-and, ultimately, whether you ever find a satisfying answer to that question, if we stopped that nonsense....that still wouldn’t mean that we had to open the borders.
^^^^^ Once again, soooo much this. Trump and the GOP love the politics of "otherism". Scapegoat and vilify anyone and everyone who questions your power. And not just on immigration, but attacking war heros, his own intel, and the free press.
Instead what we should be doing to strengthen the country is to pay livable wages in all states, red or blue, stop worrying about giving tax breaks to giant corporations that don't need them. That way you could FUND more facilities, hire more judges to speed up the process, not have kids or adults in courts whom cant understand what the court is telling them. We wouldn't have to bail out banks and car companies and housing companies. We wouldn't have a bubble every decade like we do currently. We could pay down the national debt.
But no, the GOP and Trump need the rural white person angry at the urban black person, and even those in the suburbs divided. Easy to fleece society with power when you convince them you are on their side and everyone else is your enemy.
The GOP would lose every election if they were forced to solely run on economics.
