You are correct. One thing Trump supporters do not seem to realize is that he took aim primarily at legal immigration, especially during the Pandemic, but even before. His entire rhetoric was one of parroting the Lump of Labor fallacy and false zero-sum thinking, long proven false: https://www.lianeon.org/p/how-to-gain-45-trillion?s=w

The fact is, allowing people to move to where they are most productive is good for everyone and does not result in job losses. If it were true, that immigration made us poorer, America would be the poorest nation on the planet!
