Bro, let us remove out anti-Trump bias for a moment, we will both agree with the following:
1. Every country has a right to deport people who have over-styed their visas or entered the country illegally
2. If country has a right to protect their citizens.

It is a fact, we have plane load of Chinese, European Israelis, coming into the country 8 months pregnant, check in at the hospital to deliver shortly thereafter, no insurance, so the $17k cost for delivery is paid for by taxes from those who live and work legally, then return to China and Israel.

The baby is now a citizen, goes back home and then return at age 18, get aid for college, then return to home.

Trump is not the solution, I would have much prefer him in prison today, but Biden made sure he got back to the White House and the MAGA folks, do have some very legitimate gripes.

There will be a wave of "roundups" for show, and there will be legal residents and citizens caught up in the mess. But Trump is no fool. He will not tank the US economy by deporting millions of undocumented immigrants unless he stands to benefit from it financially. The same is true with regard to tariffs. So it would be more useful to focus on Trump's personal financial interests when analyzing these issues.

This is all about supply and demand. If the demand was not there, these people would not be here in this country. This is only going to hurt businesses, especially, here in Texas.

This whole thing tariff/immigration/Greenland/Panama Canal was/is a diversion. Don't look at what Trump and the GOP says, look at what they do. Its a huge diversion, want you to look in one direction while he and his robber barons drain the treasury. Why you think it was so important to get the media to be nice to him. The man even launch a bs lawsuit against a little paper in Iowa just to send a signal. It is all lies, misinformation and misdirection.

If they were serious about illegals, they would be punishing the ones who hire and subsequently exploit them.

I presume you'd have considered this if the exploited were mainly Muslims?
