You know what’s really crazy about all this? The vast majority of these immigrants, whether here legally or not, would absolutely support conservative values (or what used to be such). Most of them work very hard, have a lot of initiative and the potential to become entrepreneurs, and many are socially conservative and religious. If the Republicans were actually smart, they would NOT be threatening and torturing these people but instead encouraging them to stay here and become citizens and voters.
I look at some of my immigrant neighbors who work their asses off; they saved up to buy nice houses, run their own businesses, have big tight-knit families, go to church, the whole bit.
But if Republicans were of that stripe, we wouldn’t be where we are now.
Instead, they are doubling down on cementing the most racist and xenophobic people we have as their core voters, and damn all the rest of us.
