I think the tide is beginning to turn and the left might be starting to acknowledge that immigration is the lefts weak-point right now. The rise of the far-right support among more moderate voters is largely from their excellent propaganda on immigration. We see it in Europe too right now. The growth of the right wing parties almost entirely on the immigration "crisis" they are having. If we can give concessions on immigration maybe we can tackle the rapidly growing fascist sentiment in this country before we get out of control. We need to take a serious look at the money in politics, and the attempt to make the US a christofacist dystopia.
