I think that Trump and his party are driven purely by personal benefit and greed. The policies of Trump and his cronies reflect this and show how they want to control all the wealth among a ruling class. However, I don’t see how deporting immigrants (employees) would help this cause

Are they doing this for popular support? Why would they prioritize xenophobia over capital? Is it simply that they’re hateful and scared?

      Yeah it just surprises me that so called capitalists and billionaires would put racism above money. Especially since illegal immigrants are working for basically no pay. Maybe they have an end goal where the disposable work force is entirely black ie return to slavery or close to it

        Given the southern us impoverished itself for generations with Jim Crow, I don’t think it is all that unusual. Capitalists are just as dumb as anyone else.

          Not necessarily. The South impoverished itself for generations, but how were industry leaders doing? Capitalists don’t care about GDP, only their bank accounts.
