How do you reconcile Trump supporters who are very outspoken about immigration at the US Southern border who have adopted black children?

Asked by JLeslie (65446points) September 28th, 2019 from iPhone

I happen to know more than one person who is adamant about calling undocumented immigrants “criminals” and they are big Trump supporters. They are Caucasian/white, and also have an adopted black child, or adopted black grandchild.

They also have friends who are Latin American.

Are they racist? Or, are they just lacking empathy for those wanting a better life in America? Can you understand why they reject a racist label?
