My comment:
One of the reasons these protests are happening is because the liberals are against the removal of illegal foreigners being rounded up. Personally, i support the round of of illegals, however there is a right way and a wrong way to do things. It would have been better to enforce the laws on the books that doesn't allow employers to hire illegals. This would have prevented much of the incentive for the invasion of illegal migrants.
Also, once the jobless people were in the country, they should have been allowed a pathway to citizenship. IMO in some cases Trump simply used this hot button topic to gain political points and act tough - at the expense of desperate human beings.

There are no easy answers to this problem. But a nation should protect its language, borders and culture. It cannot allow unchecked invasions of foreigners to steal jobs from US citizens, and also drain our monetary resources. In addition to that, there were untold numbers of criminals, thieves, rapists, dangerous spies and terrorists that could do grave danger to our nation and its people.

This is why the round up of illegals had to take place to protect and defend the nation. However, this "No Kings" protest was not all about illegals, there were other major reasons to be concerned with when a leader's actions circumvent Constitutional laws.
For example: to gain more power and push an agenda to protect his presidency and avoid public scrutiny from the release of the Epstein Files. What we have been witnessing is one big news event after the other to distract attention from the national outcry for the release of the identities of criminals that abused women and children sexually. Over 1,000 people (that are alive) were identified as the abused, but no one except Epstein's girlfriend has been charged with those crimes. Why haven't the perpetrators of those crimes been identified, pursued and charged with crimes?

Ever since Trump became president he has been jet setting all over the world and suddenly putting on meetings with national leaders and starting war actions against new enemies of the month - all to divert attention away from his own alleged culpability and complicity in years of sex abuse incidents.
This is the fact that has started to fade away from the national consciousness. This protest is part of that reminder that no leader in America should be allowed to rule like a king or dictator to maintain their grasp on power.

Case in point are the many lethal military actions against the small boats from Venezuela where many have been killed without due process to actually prove they were taking part in drug running. Those actions are blatantly unconstitutional and have never been a part of legal interdiction to enforce the law. That is another reason the "No Kings" protest was taking place.
IMO Trump is using the conservative pro-American movement to maintain power. This is the classic action of a demagogue who exploits the opinions of the masses for political gain. GE
