Your response reminds me of the shrewdness of Trump's plan: Democrats and many moderate Republicans do not see any major problems with immigration over the last several decades with the exceptions of
DACA and tightening up border security, mostly at airline terminals. So Democrats have favored tweaks
to the system, not wholesale change as Trump has proposed.
-- Whether or not we want immigrants-- not an issue until Trump. Generally we wanted immigrants,
with some exceptions during national security fights like WWII. But since white people are now dying in the U.S. faster than they are reproducing, the racial aspect looms large in the minds of some.
Meanwhile, we have killed far more Muslims in recent decades, and continue to kill far more Muslims,
than have killed us, not only through our own war policies (600,000+ dead in Iraq alone) but through
American arms dealers which continue to flood the world with weapons. Trump has embraced neocon
foreign policy even as he criticized the Iraq War. The thing is, maybe Muslims have valid complaints against
the U.S. thanks, largely to the neocons here and in Israel.
