This isn't about racism or hating immigrants. It's about protecting the American dream for native born citizens. We either have a country or we don't.

OK, so what you're saying is that an illegal immigrant will come into the country and steal a job picking lettuce from a legal resident, and earning a wage at under the federal minimum will go on to realize 'the American Dream'.

Is this correct?

Can you explain why you refer to Hispanics as the "browns," openly favor racial segregation, frequently embrace racial stereotypes, quote white supremacist publications, and align near perfectly with the political positions common among white nationalists?

There are two equally valid reasons for it. One is that is he does approve of them, or two that he is calling attention to their absurdity. My bet is that it is the former and not the latter, but I could be wrong.
