Immigrants are no longer welcome in Donald Trump’s America. Instead, the Republican presidential nominee posited that under his potential second administration, he would round up and mass-deport noncitizens based on their “serial numbers.”
Speaking with Full Measure’s Sharyl Attkisson, Trump argued that the United States—which was founded by and has historically been a nation of immigrants—shouldn’t be a “dumping ground” for newcomers.

Attkisson then asked Trump how he even intends to carry out mass deportations. “A lot of the millions of people have had children who are American citizens, and don’t you think the first time there is an image on television of a family tearfully being told to board a bus that that whole program would end?” she asked.
Trump agreed and offered a solution: less media coverage.
“That’s right,” he said. “If you take a young woman with two beautiful children, and you put her on a bus, and it ends up on the front page of every newspaper. It makes it a lot harder."

Pretty naive take to pretend like the court is independent of politics, especially these days. “It wasn’t the politicians that did that, it was the people the politicians chose who voted down political lines”.
You’re proposing that migration will continue to escalate because their labor needs to be leveraged.
Trump is saying he’ll deport immigrants that they know everything about.
The two are easy to reconcile -it’ll be typical Republican theater of making illegal immigrants lives miserable while paying them under the table to take advantage of their labor.

Trump’s quote captures a sentiment that you’d be disingenuous to equate to policies of democrats, but that’s just my 2 cents and I’m sure you feel differently.
