This is a bipartisan issue: as evidenced by farmers crying uncle in Arizona and Florida, resulting their respective Republican governments scaling back on enforcement after crops started to rot in the fields. The same thing happened with meatpackers in some ruby-red midwestern town after an immigration raid on a meatpacking plant. Unsurprisingly, Republican voters are down for "mass deportation now", but not in their backyards, or place of business.

> Since the Democratic party is the one that wants to let in US as many illegal immigrants as possible

I love to see your source on this one. I personally haven't seen this policy stance from any Democrats.

I don’t know how you can say this. Obama deported so many people he was known as the “Deporter-in-chief”. Biden deported more people in his term than Trump did in his first term. He also was ready to sign a comprehensive bipartisan immigrant bill before Trump told his party to tank it.

By what metric does the Democratic party want “as many illegal immigrants as possible” and why would they be deporting so many people if that were the case?
