Oh no, they're for immigrants. They just don't want immigrants to have any rights. If they're constantly in fear of being deported, they can be exploited in all sorts of fun ways.
How on Earth do you get "we want them here" from "deport them"?????
From the massive numbers of undocumented immigrants rural white landowners employ despite US employment standards making it nearly impossible for any serious business to accidentally and unknowingly hire undocumented immigrants over-the-table.
Do you honestly think that most rural landowners are corporate farms or some shit? Because they aren't. The vast majority own 100 acres or less, and don't really have much need for extra hands. Hell, Id wager that most of them don't even farm or ranch or whatever. Hell, my brother in law's father is a Sheriff and owns forty acres of woods. One of my buddies has 30 some acres and does jack shit with it aside from store rusty cars. And his buddy has over a hundred acres of deer lease. None of them have employees, legal or other wise. I myself have nine acres, most of which is flood plain.
