258. I don't live there, and I didn't ask my relative how he knew.

The point is that lower-income people like my relative strongly believe they are being hurt by illegal immigration. What should the Democratic party's answer be to them? If we're just going to call them racists and belittle them, then they're sitting ducks for the Republicans, who ARE taking their concerns seriously. We have to offer people like my relative the same sense that we understand their concerns, and that we have a better solution than the Republicans.

We won't get anywhere if we just attack them.
