Over here, at DU, we have known all along that the chasing down immigrants is about rascism and xenophobia for his gullible base.
How do we know this? Gang members and violent criminals tend to have guns, which makes them harder to arrest, and criminals don't go to immigration hearings nor the check-in appointments that green card holders are expected to go to.
To anyone with a functioning brain, it's obvious what is really going on: spectacle for the rubes and haters who are his base. Little children, nursing mothers, waitresses and farm workers are not the dangerous gang members and criminals that Krasnov and company want to depict them as.
