It's not even just the "incentives", but rather the main issue that people have a legitimate problem with - depression of the labor market. Regardless of the viciousness signalling, Trump always backs down when posturing meets reality - he was certainly bound to do so on an issue directly affecting his business empire! His only real skill is being a really good con artist. He is not even good at running businesses, hence the simplistic fascism of just ordering people around.

And so, if you actually care about addressing illegal immigration, or any other issue that requires a competent government, then Trump has been a step backwards for you regardless of how you may feel. Your first step is now admitting your mistake and working to get rid of Trump, alongside every other American.
