The Trump admin's claim that it was targeting criminal aliens was always bullshit, and it's just hard for me to believe that most Americans don't know that. And assuming they do, this signals just how broken our society has become—it's a sick game we're playing.

I hesitate to say anything all comes down to one factor because humans are weird and complex, but if I did need to pinpoint the major factors it’s greed + guilt — you want to steal someone else’s land / labor / resources but you don’t want to feel bad about it, so you need to make them bad instead.
