These politicians are not exposed to illegal aliens on a daily basis like the average citizen. They all actually believe the drivel spewing from their mouths.
They do not see the areas of town that look just like Mexico nor are they exposed to the crime spreading out from those areas. They don’t stand in line with them in Walmart while the illegals are spending their EBT cards and the citizen is penny pinching their hard earned cash.
I believe there is much truth to what you say. To the cosseted elite, the "problems" with illegal aliens are largely invisible.
