This interpretation makes the entire immigration system extremely arbitrary and capricious. It's almost as if Trump supporters just want to give non-citizens a hard time for no reason. The cruelty is the point.

No the point is to create disincentives for people to immigrate so fewer people will do it.

> so fewer people will do it.

You're not disagreeing with OP. You're just trying to whitewash all the xenophobia behind the motivation.

The point is that decisions can remain arbitrary
