Destroying the country one immigrant at a time. Sad, and ridiculously self destructive.

Depends on who the “self” is. If you’re a Latino Trump supporter, absolutely. If you are working inside federal law enforcement to undo the structures that keep the country a livable, safe place for your family and your children, yes. If you are Trump, and your only way to stay out of prison and eternal infamy is to speedrun destroying any part of the government that’s loyal to the law instead of to you, and get a federal law enforcement agency in place that operates at a scale that can suppress the opposition sufficiently to keep you in power for the rest of your life, so you’re safe, I actually don’t think it is all that self-destructive.

Trump is pretty much the only one it won’t hurt, though. On that I think you are correct.
