"Trump & his family and staff members will make the remarkable & wildly exaggerated claim that... his partial border closings saved millions of lives. They will not, however, own up to the fact that Trump dismissed... then ignored the worst public health crisis in a century."
"Nor will they mention the essential immigrant workers who have stood side-by-side with Americans during this pandemic, putting food on the table, stocking our grocery shelves, working in meatpacking plants and in hospitals..."
"This convention is going to be a tribute to Trump and the GOP’s embrace of white identity politics. It’s gonna be ugly."
"An underreported story in American politics is that following Trump’s upset victory in 2016, Democrats have become more adroit and confident in responding to xenophobic attacks... Today, most Democrats have learned to lean in on, rather than run from, immigration issues."
"Immigration has decreased in importance to voters, yet Republicans go there because stoking fear of 'the non-white other' is who they are... Because after failing America on the pandemic, the economy and race relations, it’s pretty much all they have left."
