Trump's policies are creating more illegal immigrants.

His stated purpose was to deport criminals, but offers no proof of criminality. Instead he’s targeting people with visas, which means they’re here legally, but revoking those visas without notifying them and then arresting them when they show up at their required immigration hearing.

They’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t. These actions will just drive more “legal “ immigrants underground, turning them into illegals.

This ambiguity enables the regime to maintain control since everyone can be treated like a criminal.
