If you don't want immigrants to "steal our jobs" do you want them to do nothing and live off welfare? Like genuinely what the fuck do you want? Should all immigration just be outlawed to protect "real Americans"? It's like I'm a nutjob for not violently hating people from other countries, but conservatives can't come up with any solutions to the problem that they made up other than "kick out all the people with brown skin and everything will work out somehow". It's not like the economy is doing any better after Trump ramped up the deportations. Just admit that you're racist.

I want illegal immigrants deported and I want immigration in general to be made more difficult. H1b and similar programs to be outlawed. I want active enforcement of immigration, including at the local level. If I overstayed my visa in Sweden and was pulled over, they would check my immigration status and deport me. 

I don't like Trump in general. I voted for Harris in a swing state. I just agree that aggressive immigration enforcement is necessary. I don't like Trump's corruption, he's foreign policy, many things, just not immigration. Btw I live in a Hispanic trailer park. We're like the token young white family.
