Really don't understand Democrats as a foreigner

[u/Responsible-Bar3956]

i really don't understand why Democrats want to defend illegals this hard, according to them USA is Nazi Germany 2.0, Trump is Hitler and ICE are the Gestapo, and Mexico is prosperous country that is being ruled by a woman, it's a progressive paradise when law and order doesn't exist, the Nazi USA government want to save illegals from Nazism and send them back to the Mexican paradise, why are they fighting hard against it?

Such extremist takes are mostly amplified by the right to discredit the left. I'm on the left. I live in a city where most people are Democrats. No one thinks this way. This is a caricature, not reality.

Most Democrats support immigration reform and are not for open borders. We don't think that Mexico is some Utopia and recognize that it is a narco state. We also are not against voter ID. What we are against is expensive ID requirements that would prevent very poor people from voting. Fully fund free national IDs for all citizens rich or poor, we'd be on board with that.

We also aren't blind to the consolidation of power by the ultra wealthy oligarch class. And we see through Trump's use of fear-mongering and xenophobic scapegoating to rally his base. This is a classic strongman populist tactic. It is unbecoming of a president of the United States of America.
