The GOP would never do anything to deprive their wealthy donors of slave labor, and they NEED the undocumented to exist as a boogeyman to mobilize and enrage their bigoted base...

Fascists NEED a powerless minority to keep their followers focused on- some group needs to be the recipient of the Two Minutes Hate the GOP is constantly manufacturing to keep their base satiated... And to keep that base from having the time to calmly consider what the GOP has done to them.

The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretence was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp.
