Let’s be honest, today’s conservatives are blatantly anti-immigrant

There’s a ridiculous claim by conservatives about immigration that is usually described to me as not being against immigration, but instead being against illegal immigration. When you ask why these same conservatives don’t favor loosening up immigration restrictions so that it’s easier to legally immigrate into the United States they pivot to nativistic “America-first” diatribes.
The fact of the matter is that modern conservatives are blatantly anti-immigrant.
