The Atlantic: How Democrats Lost Their Way on Immigration

[Santander]

Very good article, thanks for posting.  I won't tell a liberal what to think, but I think immigration coming to the forefront over the past 5-6 years especially has really shown who's who in the "liberal" side of the spectrum in America.  Some Democrats care a lot more about not being the type of person that would "oppose (illegal) immigration" rather than being the type of person that would vote for what's best for the most vulnerable Americans ... the latter has usually more often defined a liberal in American politics.

Americans is the key word. There is nothing that is not liberal or progressive about supporting immigration policy that protects vulnerable Americans, not Hondurans or Syrians.

I meant to convey that if I didn't.

Ah, okay.

Anyway, this article does raise good points. If only Democrats would listen.
