NEVER confuse hatred of immigrants with the dangers of outlaw
immigrants.

It’s what keeps democrats in power.

Trump doesn’t hate immigrants. That’s total BS, most Americans are immigrant families. Trump has shown an attempt to protect Americans.that includes American jobs from illegal immigration and undermining American jobs and industry. They don’t care about Americans, so they can F off.
