A lot of these illegal migrants have been living (and working) in the US for quite some time already -- we're talking up to 10+ yrs of living in the US. They work jobs that a lot of legal Americans have little interest in, at wages that are almost always below the legal market wage. When they have already been made into part of the daily functioning society, why is Trump still so hell bent in kicking them out?
Illegal immigration is not a criminal offence -- it's a civil violation. Instead of spending all that effort and resources into rounding them up and kicking them out, it is a far better use of gov resources to arrest real criminals.
Enforcing border rules at the border is not facist. Separating children from their parents is.

Simple answer. We all know that Trump is a racist grandpa. Racism is in the Trump DNA. He's been showing racial bias towards people since the 1970s.
Example:
https://www.politico.com/blogs/under...on-case-235067
Trump has discriminated against visible minorities in his business dealings for a long time. His business policies from as far as the 1970s. steered black people away from his apartments because he doesn't want black people as tenants.
In my opinion, Trump treats the U.S. as his own personal home. His Kingdom.
He wants foreigners out of his kingdom because A) He hates visible minorities and B) Deporting visible minorities who are not American citizens out of the U.S. garners more support from the MAGAs.
-from the article:
Most of those interviewed said they were not aware of any discrimination. However, some of the records recount the stories of black rental applicants who said they were told no apartments were available, while whites sent to check on the same apartments were offered leases.
The records, posted on the FBI's Freedom of Information Act website, include a 1974 interview with a former doorman at a Trump building in Brooklyn.
A supervisor "told me that if a black person came to 2650 Ocean Parkway and inquired about an apartment for rent, and he, that is [redacted] was not there at the time, that I should tell him that the rent was twice as much as it really was, in order that he could not afford the apartment," the ex-doorman said.
