Right now, Democrats are generally more sympathetic to immigration than Republicans.

Could this change in the future? Given the current trends, it's possible that Republicans could outright win Hispanic voters at some point in the future. Could Republicans become the pro-immigration party and Democrats the anti-immigration party when Republicans realize that immigration benefits them politically?

The Democrats have been the more pro-immigration party since the party's founding with Andrew Jackson.

Suffice it to say, I HIGHLY doubt this will change meaningfully any time soon.

This is also BTW why I believe the idea that Trump is in any way Jacksonian is utterly ridiculous. The only thing they have in common is a vague sense of populism. But Trump's platform is straight out of the Know Nothing/Whig/Anti-Jacksonian Movement, and fundamentally opposed to the principles of Jacksonisn democracy.

That’s what the TEA Party was mostly compared with.

That's what I've been saying for years! Jackson would despise Trump today.

No but if this woke stuff gets Jews, Asians and 1/2 Hispanics voting R they might adopt support for merit based immigration and be able to take the centrist stance most Americans favor.
