That cant be true. Conservatives want the federal government to build a $30B wall that the orange guy said Mexico was going to pay for. .Conservatism is the polar opposite of authoritarianism. Conservatism seeks to decentralize power to let the states handle more issues by themselves and to give people more personal liberty. Liberalism seeks to centralize power in the federal government and to deny personal liberty whenever this is deemed necessary for "the greater good."
Protecting American citizens has nothing to do with authoritarianism. That's a natural God-given constitutionally-guaranteed right and the primary purpose of government.
It's the authoritarian left who wants to impose on American citizens the burden which unfettered illegal immigration brings. They seem to insist on it, regardless of the dire consequences and damage it brings to this nation.
