Several things can be true, though. Our anti-Hispanic policies are motivated by racism, and Republicans generally are in the lead on anti-Hispanic immigration.
But when it comes to Cubans, who tend to vote more Republican and oppose leftist policies, Republicans are in favor.

That doesn't mean anti-immigrant sentiment in this country or among Republican politicians isn't racist. It means that, sometimes, partisan preferences come first.
