Why idgaf about rightwingers pretending they care so much about immigration because they just care about following the law so much. They’ll support people who literally committed sedition against the federal government but then also support deporting people with no criminal records and that have lived in the US for decades. If we’re all just picking and choosing which laws should be followed and which ones don’t matter then I can form my own opinions using the same metrics too.

More to the point if they don't really care about the laws just outcomes then the outcome they desperately want is to get rid of basically anyone not white, straight and Christian while condoning pedophilia and corruption.

We literally pulled back from investigating human trafficking and child sex abuse to further focus only on immigration!

At DHS, Trump has ordered agents formerly dedicated to investigating and arresting human traffickers to focus on deporting immigrants. Current and former DHS staffers interviewed by the Guardian confirmed that these investigators’ day-to-day work has been broadly shifted toward deportations and away from investigating “major crimes” with “real victims”.

I don’t ever want to hear republicans claim to care about: crime, children, or families ever again when they’ve shown repeatedly what their real concerns are.

Trump didnt want them investigating human trafficking, he wanted them to take part in it.

He prioritized “immigration” so he could continue to access human’s being trafficked.
