Sure, probably. But that's what happens when you elect leopards and have faces.
The point is to inspire fear and demand unwaivering loyalty. A little random violence against your own people helps tighten the inner circle around the leader, hoping for safety. Anyone outside the circle is surely doomed, and only the most loyal are surely protected. The leader is fickle and irascible, so be on your toes and never risk his ire.
Heavy on number 3. Everyone tap dancing with glee over how badly this is going to blow up in the Republicans faces is seriously underestimating the degree to which this is going to be a government absolutely built from the ground up on corruption, bribery and extortion. I can't help but think that in a few years the US is not going to look an awful lot like Russia.

How about farm workers .... I'm up in Canada and I know because I've seen entire farm communities in southern Ontario base their entire business on immigrant labor that was either legal, illegal and everything in between. Around Norfolk (a region southwest of Toronto), entire towns are filled with Mexican, Haitian, Dominican and more recently, African workers as labor for the planting, management and harvest.
We all have cheap vegetables in North America because of cheap immigrant labor that our governments allow into the country to work (for little to no money) but not to stay.
