The only way you win the immigration issue is to stop treating it like a problem and tell the racists to eat shit.
But that presumes politicians who aren't also racist themselves.
@gwynnion politicians, shmoliticians. I think that the real problem is that "polite white supremacy" is the position of a big enough chunk of the electorate to back up those politicians. The good news is that it seems like that chunk is shrinking. But is it shrinking fast enough?

@gwynnion that would require acknowledging most of the US is deeply racist

Democrats like to run on polite white supremacy.

The immigration "problem" will resolve itself when the stores run out of food.

@gwynnion that's absurd. the dems wouldn't be racist. it's not like they'd make their primary presidential candidate a man old and white enough to have actively fought desegregation
