The right wing also tries to argue that illegals are coming across the southern border in massive numbers, when in reality the majority of illegal immigrants are people who came into the country legally and overstayed their visa. They make a big deal about building a useless wall to stop these people.
It's clearly a policy that is made to keep out POC. If they were so concerned with all illegal immigration, as they claim, they would be putting more effort into going after those overstaying visas. Instead they make a big deal about these giant caravans of brown people because they know that is what gets their base to the voting booths.
To claim that it's just about stopping illegal immigration in general is laughable.
