It's just like neocons here. They actually love immigration, because of cheap labor, they just exploit people fears and patriotism so they can get in a position to fuck the public for profit.
Even now, your average Republican voter is blaming all this horrible shit happening on SJWs and Millennials making bad financial choices. As if they're the one's who've started expensive and destructive overseas wars and incarcerated millions of people for selling drugs people got addicted to them from unregulated pharmaceutical companies. Neoconservatism is eating this country from the inside out and it's a difficult parasite to remove, even with public support for major reforms.
