So, we've established that it essentially IS a Jim Crow law, but I.think you're looking more for "Why does anybody support it?"
For the last twenty years or so, MAGA supporters have been told that immigrants are destroying the country, doing all the crime, selling all the drugs, taking all the jobs, and spending all your tax dollars on iPhones and sports cars.
And now, they are illegally voting in elections. To MAGA, it's obvious because they are "normal Americans" and they assume that most Americans agree with them, and that a small percentage of people have fallen for the lies of the media that wants immigrants to take over the country for some reason.
