I think most of the voters who want this also want that but the choices are: mass illegal immigration vs mass deportations. People voting in primaries should probably take this into consideration.


False dichotomy.

- Recall back to the old republican party of just 20 years ago, GW Bush wanted a guest worker program.

- Recall back to just a year and a half ago, a big bill was in congress to drastically ramp up employment laws and increase border funds - funny enough that was rejected. That rejection by the republican party _increased_ illegal immigration

- The deportation rate under BOTH Obama and Biden has been higher to date compared to the current (second) Trump administration.

So, if you want higher deportation and laws to increase border security - apparently we need to go back to the previous administration... The facts are seemingly all very topsy turvy compared to the narrative.
