IDK, to me their policy goals are fairly in the open. Close to no immigration from non-white non-Europeans; or at least only short term H2 style visas. They don't have legal means to get there, so they make do with what they think they might get away with.

This analysis assumes they are pursuing conventional policy aims. But they’re not. The human pustule at the top only wants authoritarian power; policies that stoke racial resentments and selectively persecute dark-skinned immigrants are a means to that end, not an end in itself.

I think it's both. Trump has a long history of racist actions, that at the time weren't just playing into his autocratic desires. And the Sessions, Miller, Kelly wing has worked on restricting immigration for a long time. Obviously there's *also* the power politics you mention.
