Trump gave clemency or commuted the sentence of someone who owned a meat packing plant that was hiring hundreds of undocumented immigrants under the table. I don't think I saw a single Republican complain about that.

That's sort of the other issue. A lot of the immigration stuff is more about race than any law they feel needs to be upheld. I don't think I've seen a single person complain about the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees that have come to America. There is a lot of complaints about Nigerian refugees despite their massive success when entering the United States.

So you have politicians trying to thread the needle where they want to ban immigrants that are not white, but can't outright say that (although I guess Trump is).
