Trump won because of apathy. https://www.reddit.com/r/Infographics/comments/1gms8gb/the_2...

The critisism isnt about the policy on immigration. The critisim is about analogously giving a convicted felon a flamethrower to use on your house to get rid of unwanted bugs and thinking that its the right solution. All while also crying about small government all the time. That kind of thinking is pretty much on par for modern conservatives though.

The truth is llegal immigration in the sense of criminals coming here was never a problem. Most of the "illegal" immigrants were coming here by abusing the generous asylum system. And furthermore, they were coming here for work opportunity, not to leech from the system.

The border bill that Biden had in plan would have fixed that. Trump told Republicans to veto it because it would hurt his chances.
