Everything Trump does is malicious, either to punish his perceived enemies or to extract an extortion payment. He will use this "mandate" transactionally, not uniformly. He is already planning to hit SoCal hard because they are all his enemies.

In Texas, he doesn't have a lot of enemies, but there are plenty of people he can extort. That's what he will do there. He doesn't really care about deporting people from Texas, but he will threaten that and demand tribute payments from ranchers, construction firms, health care companies and anybody else that can't survive without the undocumented labor.

"I'm sorry to hear you are looking at a labor shortage. You know, a contribution to my PAC might get some attention to authorize 1000 work visas."

It is all transactional. We need to understand that ourselves before we can explain it to everyone else.
