On YouTube, there is one particular user who appears to hold the following mix of political beliefs:

-People with higher incomes should pay more taxes (i.e. have higher tax rates).
-There should be better protection of the environment and more investment in public/mass transit.
-Illegal immigrants should not be given amnesty but should be rounded up and deported en masse.
-People should not speak any language other than English while in public.
-Stop-and-frisk and other similar tactics are essential in deterring crime.

In today's political climate, it seems to be very difficult, if not impossible, to find any mainstream politicians with this particular mix of political beliefs. The first two are left-leaning beliefs, while the last three are right-leaning beliefs. Are there any politicians currently in office who actually hold this particular mix of beliefs?

I'm not sure of any politician like that, but this seems to be kinda left-wing populist/borderline full-blown socialist (and I'm not saying that in a partisan-hack-type of way): tax the rich, invest more in infrastructure, preserve the nation's "original" culture, and law-and-order-type actions

That's because Generation Z hasn't gone into political office yet. /s

Sounds like an old school Dixiecrat. Someone who thinks that voters should be able to elect people not afraid of using political will to reign things in economically when someone gets all the chips in town on one side and on the other, someone who thinks that Civil Rights and Liberties are dangerous because they encourage people to commit crimes and amongst those crimes, to trespass into the United States. He may have voted for Bill or Obama once, but usually votes Republican on the top. Probably doesn't like Obamacare, but probably wants to keep it. Is probably pro-life with a rape exception but has recently come to have a slight tolerance of marijuana users and homosexuals.

That person is very controlling of other people.  Those people are always bad, no matter what color their hat is.

I know people like that.

And honestly, it's probably the typical Obama/Trump voter.

Support Democratic Party policies....... but hate illegal immigrants, want English-only, and believe minorities tend to be more criminal.

Why would these people elect Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 and 2012, a man who was constantly slandered for being a Muslim Kenyan born Manchurian candidate? A man who supports immigration reform and is himself a member of a minority group?

Isn't this basically how most mainstream right parties are in Europe?

The research done on these voters by Democratic Party officials indicate that most flipped because of economic grievances. Link
