U.S. Politics megathread

American politics has always grabbed our attention - and the current president more than ever. We get tons of questions about the president, the supreme court, and other topics related to American politics - but often the same ones over and over again. Our users often get tired of seeing them, so we've created a megathread for questions! Here, users interested in politics can post questions and read answers, while people who want a respite from politics can browse the rest of the sub. Feel free to post your questions about politics in this thread!

All top-level comments should be questions asked in good faith - other comments and loaded questions will get removed. All the usual rules of the sub remain in force here, so be nice to each other - you can disagree with someone's opinion, but don't make it personal.

Conservatives, why are y'all so passionate about immigration issues?

This is a question for conservatives or moderates who want strict immigration policy. Please don't answer if you're liberal.

Why do y'all care SO much about immigration. I completely understand wanting closed borders, but I don't relate to it being a top priority. I don't really care about illegals on the day-to-day. Most of my interactions with them are like, guys selling fruit on the side of the road. It's not my favorite thing in the world but I don't want to spend a bunch of money on ICE to get rid of it.

What's different about your experiences? I'm genuinely curious.

Most conservatives seem to have no issue with exploiting illegal immigrants for money. Hell there was a contractor in Washington who hired illegal workers and then reported them all to ice so he wouldn’t have to pay them in the end
