How to Rebutt Trump on Immigration
The cornerstone of Donald Trump's immigration policy is that unauthorized immigration by Mexicans into America hurts the economy. Many people fall for such bogus, or the bogus that they hurt wages, when in reality, they do the jobs Americans won't.
Of course tho, Donald Trump is running away with the GOP primary, and is likely to become the nominee. He sells because his musings against the unauthorized immigrants and other groups strike people as a rebuke to political correctness, the act of saying/doing things consciously to avoid offending groups of people. Immigration is one topic that might be seen largely by one way in the minds of Hispanic voters, and progressive whites as well, but the broader electorate is much bigger and is somewhat middling on immigration, but somewhat keen on Donald Trump.
The key to beating Trump on immigration, IMO, is for the Democratic nominee (likely Hillary) not to mainly argue it from a race stand point; it feeds into Trump's narrative about political correctness, even tho yes, much of the hate against illegals might not occur if they had lilly white skin. The solution is to soberly, without bluster, talk about how deporting all or most of the illegals would hurt the economy with sound statistical truths:
Additionally, there are older voters who don't necessarily hate non-whites, but who aren't thrilled with the prospect of whites losing the demographic majority. Their views might be bigoted, but at the end of the day, they do vote, and Donald Trump hopes they come out in big numbers and/or cross party lines to vote for him. Democratic candidates would do well to take their votes seriously, and not dismiss building a stronger barrier on the southern border, tho do dismiss Mexico paying for it. Abortion rights, gay rights, and the fate of 12 million unauthorized people
currently here, depends on it.
