The champions of democracy are suddenly worried about a democratically elected president enacting the will of the people who elected him. Truth is stranger than fiction.
I didn't vote for Trump, but I can completely understand the desire to be rid' of illegal immigrants that do not respect our laws and not looking to get right with the system. Where I am originally from it was basically 8/10 drug related crime arrests was someone that had illegal status and it was such an issue the police force would essentially pull anyone over that even looked Mexican, straight up racial profiling.
This is a problem of our own creation and we have ignored it for 2 generations by letting immigration law go unenforced and while also not improving the path to citizenship for those who are law abiding and want to be a proper citizen or legal resident. Immigration is the primary wedge issue to drive people apart like abortion has been, but now it doesn't have the same luster because it's no longer a federal issue, but a state one.
