Almost. It’s one of those conflating things. They say “criminal illegals,” then talk about violent criminals shortly afterward to cement that connection.
As for non-violent immigrants, it becomes “they broke the law by being here” and they get no sympathy regardless, and they’re still lumped into the “criminal illegal” group.
It’s the same thing with trans people. They want to conflate gender affirming care with the final steps of transition, namely bottom surgery. Therefore when the average republican sees “gender affirming care for minors” which in every case is simply lived experience, hormone blockers, and maybe hrt, they see “chopping off kid’s dicks.”
Yeah they do that. It is really sneaky to call illegal immigrants criminals because of their illegal immigration. It’s like someone being called a criminal just for resisting arrest.
