For many of us he was ALWAYS a rightwinger, hiding his conservatism behind smatterings of liberal sounding rhetoric.

And let's ignore the fact that deportations increased under Obama.
"They" don't have to ignore facts anymore, "they" have alternative facts!

His immigration policy is less harsh than Obama's, as Trump wants to deport mostly criminals, whereas most of Obama's deportees weren't criminals.

No. Trump, after walking back from deporting all of them, said he would prioritize criminals in the deportation system. Which is what Obama had been doing.
In an interview with Business Insider at Trump Tower in New York last week, Trump repeatedly brushed off concerns about the practicality of his immigration plan, saying that he would have perfect legal authority to circumvent the courts.
And he and his supporters are being branded as "fascist, racists, misogynists, etc" when everybody, including democrats have talked about implementing these same policies for decades...
