The Ice Age Cometh - TIME
The Ice Age Cometh - TIME
The GOP has other problems, but Murphy hits it on the head with the demographics. The inability of the GOP to adapt to the new America is killing its electoral chances. The strong anti-immigration rhetoric that often crosses the line into racism is its number one problem. If you want to return to Reaganism, be optimistic about immigration.
This is a country based on optimistic immigrants and America should welcome that. Increasing raids and building fences, do nothing for the underlying solution of immigration. People will always want to come to America. We should encourage that.
Getting back to the GOP, would it hurt the Dems to keep putting immigration on the front burner? It would keep polarizing the electorate (very Rovian) and hopefully move non-whites permanently into the Dem column. I don't see much of a downside to this. Worst case scenario you get immigration reform through or the GOPself-immolates as a stand in for the No-Nothings. Win-win.
