Every policy that Trump and GOP puts forward about immigration is really an open attempt to reverse the demographic shift permanently if they can. The idea is that you deport them, harass them, take way their votes, suppress them et al or to everything you can to make sure that ONLY WHITE CHRISTIAN VOTES COUNT.
And the MSM pretty much is letting them get away with it. The happy clappy MSM just talks about brainless pap and makes the GOP legitimate no matter how openly racist they are. Sure there are back lashes, but by an large intimidation of minorities particularly African Americans, Asians, LGBT, nonreligious et al is now the unofficial law of the land. If the GOP has it their way you would have to pledge allegiance to their agenda by law.
The GOP has been on an eliminationist war for decades. And they have largely gotten away with race baiting and bigotry. No one ever calls there leadership on it. And we will see it in spades during this election cycle. Challenging obvious white privilege is now racist. That stale meme is now being mainstreamed.

(6,916 posts)FINALLY someone is speaking the truth about what the GOP is up to.
America is a country of immigrants. Our economy depends on immigrants. Immigrants are good for America - they were good in 1910 and they are good today.
And Republicans want to stop immigration, stomping on what America stands for, TO MAKE THIS A WHITE NATION. Because immigrants vote Democratic.
Paul Ryan said it - that now that the GOP is kicking out immigrants, white Americans need to have more babies.
This is the GOP strategy. They now have a coalition of billionaires and racists. For that coalition to win they must lie and cheat maximally. They are maxing out voter suppression and propaganda.
And the Republicans are trying to fundamentally reshape and damage America by kicking out immigrants. For their own personal political power. It is the most despicable American political act since slavery.

(6,916 posts)But we're talking about their plan in 2018. The Republican plan in 2018 on immigration is:
- Immigration hatemongering for votes from their base.
- Kick out as many immigrants as possible because they vote for Dems.
- In other words: destroy american values to get votes for the GOP. It's horrific and disgusting.
