What am I missing here? (Trump immigration plan)

5. You're missing inequality.

The plan isn't supposed to work, and it doesn't have to be logically consistent because the voters Trump is trying to win over do not understand logic.

What it does do is treat foreign-born non-whites inequitably. The plan pretends to further monetize these already exploited humans. Right-wingers support inequality when it works in their favor.

The plan plays upon the fears of ignorant white males--their loss of power and influence, the fear that they may someday be treated in the same way that only they treat others.

They are unaware of the hypocrisy. They don't even know the meaning of that word. They live in small, frightening worlds where the unknown is dangerous and where tolerance means loss of control.

They are motivated by irrational fear and racism, so there is no need to be rational or fair--in fact, those are weaknesses to be avoided.
