    The far right differentiates between illegal aliens and legal migrants. They vocally support those who come legally. That has been my experience.

      But they also want fewer legal immigrants. Remember the republican rep talking about how she loves watching videos of immigrants being dragged out of their immigration court cases by ICE? Those were people following the process.

        It’s a distinction that becomes meaningless when ALL headlines talk about “illegals” and spread lies like “illegals voting” and when they deport plenty of migrants, legal or not. And fire the populace up against ALL migrants. Sorry, there’s no legal resp illegal xenophobia, it’s just xenophobia.

        I don’t know the rep you’re talking about. I don’t disbelieve it, I know there are plenty of racists in every group and movement.

        The conservative voices with large audiences that I have seen are pro legal immigration.

          I am 70 years old and have NEVER seen a republican group support any kind of migration, except maybe the farmers who want slave labour. GTFOH with this drivel !!
