Rhetoric and Reality: Immigration in Politics
This chapter explores the inflammatory rhetoric surrounding immigration by a former president, particularly his recent comments on undocumented immigrants that echo past ethnonationalist themes. It contrasts these views with data on immigrant crime rates and delves into contemporary Democratic immigration policies, highlighting the complexities of political strategies leading up to the elections. The discussion also reflects on the evolving role of unions, the implications of political endorsements, and the overall impact of current political narratives on public perception and policy.
