Its about race: Paul Krugman goes on epic rant against Trump killing DACA
“Even if you buy some of the more dubious anti-immigration arguments, none of them apply to the DREAMers,” Krugman tweeted Tuesday, specifically saying that DREAMers are not the “low-skilled” workers the right seems to think they are.
“Even if you buy some of the more dubious anti-immigration arguments, none of them apply to the DREAMers. They’re not low-skilled,” he said. “They’re not culturally alien — they grew up here! They didn’t break the law by coming, since parents brought them. Why punish them?”
He argued the answer is race, because Trump and his allies want to “make America white again,” while “acting tough for the sake of acting tough.”
“Apparently even Trump worries about how bad it looks — hence the scam over the 6-mo delay,” Krugman tweeted. “Don’t let him off the hook. This is vicious.”
