the frustrating reality is is that if the rights draconian deportation plans are halted it’ll be either by democratic opposition (to whatever extent is even possible) or by republican ineptitude—in either case immigrants who voted against their own best interests may be spared and their takeaway will be that Trump/Republicans actually had no intent to deport them or their loved ones and/or the people claiming that they did where lying about how aggressive/destructive MAGA really is.

You can't vote unless you're a legal citizen, so how could an illegal immigrant vote against their best interest???

And it'll get the right re-elected and gain seats in Congress, because the Democrats are using "lawfare" used against Trump administration's policies.
Perhaps the Democrats shouldn't have downplayed immigration concerns until the border states started bussing immigrants North.

The only people who could vote on this are citizens, citizens are not subject to deportation. No citizen "voted against their best interests" when it comes to deporting illegals.
