That strikes me as a straw man fallacy.
Quote:Is it hateful to want legal immigration? If so, all of Congress hates brown and black people because they made the immigration laws which I support.That strikes me as a second straw man fallacy.
Wanting to reduce illegal immigration, and control immigration need not involve demonising or persecuting people to whom that process is likely beyond reach, and so enter the country illegally. Even if you decide ultimately not to let someone stay, there is no need to persecute them, or demonise them with bigoted rhetoric, as of course Trump does, nor indeed is there any need to punish them beyond not letting them stay. Wouldn't you do anything to lift those you love out of crushing poverty?
You are citing something many might agree with, at least in principle, but you're mendaciously pretending this is their main objection, when it is more likely they object to how Trump portrays and treats illegal immigrants.
Parenthetically, if your only objection is that they have broken the law, then your hero worship of Trump is pretty ironic, given his contempt for the law, and his oath to uphold the constitution. Or do your objections go further perhaps, in which case why mislead with straw men like this?
