Of course GOPer’s do NOT represent places with many immigrants…

This latest flurry of activity continues the drive by Trump and other Republicans elected mostly from the parts of America least touched by immigration to impose a restrictionist agenda on migration over the nearly undivided opposition of Democrats elected by the areas where most immigrants, both undocumented and legal, actually live. Though greeted without complaint by Republicans in Congress, Trump’s promised raids provoked astoundingly open resistance from the mayors of virtually every large American city, from New York and Los Angeles to Chicago and Houston.

Trump’s divisive tweets opened an equally imposing divide between the parties. Democrats were unvarnished and united in flatly describing Trump’s tweets as racist and nativist, words that elected officials have rarely applied so unabashedly to the remarks of a sitting president. Only a tiny trickle of Republicans that widened slightly as Monday progressed raised objections and the vast majority tried to avoid comment altogether. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolinaobliquely suggested Trump “should aim higher” but then compounded the President’s slur by calling the Democrats “communists” who “hate our own country” and are “anti-America.”
