As you might imagine, I have some pretty serious disagreements with “the squad” on issues of real importance (at least to me). But no policy differences could justify Donald Trump’s disgusting, racist, go-back-where-you-came-from diatribe. Indeed, President Trump initially cited no issue differences. It was straight out, inexcusable bigotry and xenophobia.
Trump’s outburst, together with the weekend’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, afford us a useful opportunity to reexamine public views on immigration, which perhaps ironically, have become more liberal during Trump’s reign. CONT.
