Immigrants generally commit fewer crimes than US citizens
They’re also extremely productive-and therefore helpful to the economy
So by attacking immigrants who had no criminal record Trump was directly harming America
Which leaves one question-why do it
One response seems fairly obvious

Trump had promised to focus on rounding up immigrants with criminal records during his 2024 election campaign. Government data shows that actual ICE arrests skew heavily towards immigrants without criminal convictions.
