The protests were linked to concerns over personal freedoms and government overreach. Mainly related to COVID-19 mandates and stay at home recommendations.

Supporters saw the movement as a grassroots stand for liberty against government overreach.

    What system is it you want for illegal immigrants?

    What in your non-bigot view should be happening to them and why?

    I tend to believe in a highly progressive tax system as a social safety net, a minimum income for instance, so I do tend to prefer tighter immigration. I also dislike cheap labor that debases salaries and working conditions.

      I’m sorry, was this conversation through about minorities or illegal immigrants? Your bigot conflation of those two is getting in the way of things.
