I don't see it. I think this is a case of pure political pandering to the radical right to keep them energized.

There's no profit to be made in deporting people who are already productive and educated employees, nor in deporting younger dreamers on their way to completing their education.

So the monied classes likely have little interest in this topic. The R's are just keeping the rubes riled up.
