Just now? The man entered politics and the first thing he said was how he was going to build a wall to keep the "criminal, diseased, rapist" Mexicans out. Yeah, of course this administration is preoccupied with nationalist xenophobia.

Just because the people voted for Trump does not mean that the people don't want visa laws followed. Also, voting for someone does not give that someone carte blanche to do whatever the hell they please.
