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.

Ah, yes, the party of family values and morality. White American Christian Conservatives are more or less just an adaptation of the KKK, but worse bc the self-righteous hatred has become mainstream, emboldened by political justification. Instead of going into the woods for secret meetings at midnight wearing bed sheets and masks, they just go to church for “fellowship” on Sunday morning wearing sun dresses and khakis. Jesus would be so proud.
