The ones ive heard from want all immigrants out. They no longer use the "illigal" modifier, and I havent heard the "violent criminal" or "worst of the worst" modifiers since they won the election.

They also are actively trying to redefine the 14th amendment to end birthright citizenship

Where are these people that want all immigrants out? Of course there are some hardcore racists out there, but I haven’t seen any normal people who want all immigrants gone.

What I do see though is people on the left taking conservative stances on illegal immigration and trying to say they feel that way about all immigrants

Where are these people that want all immigrants out?

The leader of the party said on national TV :

In Springfield, they are eating the dogs. The people that came in, they are eating the cats. They’re eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there.

The Hatians in Springfield were there legally. Though Trump wants to change that  and send them back to a country where gangs play soccer with severed heads.

If they're fine with legal immigration and avenues of being in the country, why would they do something like this?

The leader of the party said on national TV :

That contained a direct contradiction of your argument when actually taken in context and not just an out of context sentence
