Looking out for Americans is precisely what he's doing by deporting illegals. Of course people who are in a position of wealth are not affected by their existence so they think there’s no issue.

Nothing about deporting illegal immigrants requires deploying the Marines.

They're deployed because of the riots, not illegal immigration.

The riots got worse after they were deployed. Obviously. They're being deployed because we have a drunk for SecDef, a basket case in Stephen Miller and flagging illegal-immigrant arrest numbers that are making Homan look incompetent. So we get theatrics. Sort of like the tariffs.

The Republican party has been stealing the surplus wealth from offshoring for decades with their fake refrain of "fiscal responsibility", and now that our country's industrial base has been hollowed out and the jig is up you fall right for their ploy to blame a scapegoat instead.
