I thought this interview with Abby McCloskey was really comprehensive and honest on the subject of immigration in particular. I remember when GWB was president and being from TX, he and others did talk about ways to address these issues. That broke down pretty quickly, tho as Abby said it was acknowledged that the economy of most border states (at least) would collapse without day-crossing illegal workers, and business practices propped it all up. I found it disgusting then as a much younger person, and totally hypocritical now, as this background is now completely covered up, with immigrants now demonized for political gain.
I thought Abby also nailed the moral or "culture war" issues that hold some non-MAGA conservatives to Trump. Unfortunately, I believe they have the cart way before the horse, as Jesus moved masses with His words and deeds, not by calling down threats of fire from heaven (as even His disciples then wanted Him to do when rejected, Luke 9:51-56). Christian liberty is a choice individuals make, while personal liberty is the rightful state which God created every soul to have and nurture in our communities. No one can be forced to believe anything they don't, they can only be persuaded- rule of law is supposed to be related to community standards, not an elite minority.
Sorry to ramble- I do think many will be shocked if these deportation activities start happening, especially to people that Trump voters have a connection to. I'm afraid that karma/reaping what these years have sown is really going to bite, however the election goes down.
