At least one of the "Butts In Chair" did something about illegal immigration

Explain why something had to be done to reject a population that produces more revenue than it costs to support them and commits crimes at a rate lower than both the general population (slightly lower) and than the people hired to police them (FAR lower.)

Pelosi's trading is legal

Pelosi and other congresspeople are clearly making what would be illegal trades for anyone who was not in congress. They are not only possessed of insider information but that includes their own upcoming actions, where they know what they will do which will affect markets before anyone else. The only reason it's "legal" is that nobody can hold them accountable but them. So yeah, that's technically legal, but it's also without oversight. (Citizen oversight doesn't count since Republicans deliberately damaged education in this country because they knew they couldn't continue to win elections otherwise.)

Trump's grifts on the other hand do violate laws and precedent, those laws just aren't enforced.

Precedent isn't relevant unless it's legal precedent, and the president putting his wealth in trust isn't that.

Texas IS installing solar and wind, faster than any other state in fact.

But unlike China which virtue signals about the alt power they are building, Texas lack-of-virtue signals by crowing about coal and oil while building... the same alt power.

Chinese are more forward-looking than Texans.

except when it's islam in Iran oppressing the normal people, right?

In fact I have spoken against Islam time and again, along with every other religion. There is no difference there. I've said mean things about Mohammad here on Slashdot, etc etc. If you weren't a noob you'd know already and wouldn't accuse me of being an Islamophile. I oppose all religions in proportion to the damage they're doing at the moment. That means the collected Abrahamic faiths are the primary problem in my eye, and they can all get it AFAIC.

To be as clear as I feel like being, I believe in religious freedom, including the freedom to oppose it.
