- How Democrats Lost Their Way on Immigration
Not long ago, immigration was a winning issue for Democrats. When Mitt Romney lost to Barack Obama in 2012, his defeat was blamed, in part, on his hard-line stance in favor of “self-deportation”—making life so hard for immigrants that they would choose to return to their home country. Obama had backed a more popular approach, which balanced strong enforcement at the border and the workplace with a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and an expansion of legal immigration. That policy, called comprehensive immigration reform, was supported by the immigrant-advocacy movement and by 77 percent of the public.In the election’s aftermath, leading conservatives—including Sean Hannity (who said he’d “evolved” on immigration and supported a “pathway to citizenship”), Rupert Murdoch (“Give them a path to citizenship. They pay taxes. They are hard-working people”), and Charles Krauthammer (the GOP “requires but a single policy change: Border fence plus amnesty.

The Democratic Party had lost touch with far too many American voters, Murphy concluded: “We are beyond small fixes.”Other prominent Democrats saw a similarly sweeping repudiation of the party’s brand. “It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” Senator Bernie Sanders wrote in a statement issued less than 24 hours after the polls closed. At the time of those reactions, millions of votes had yet to be counted, and… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.6 days ago
- Trump Is About to Betray His Rural SupportersThis article was featured in the One Story to Read Today newsletter. Sign up for it here.Donald Trump’s support in rural America appears to have virtually no ceiling. In last month’s election, Trump won country communities by even larger margins than he did in his 2020 and 2016 presidential runs. But several core second-term policies that Trump and the Republican Congress have championed could disproportionately harm those places.Agricultural producers could face worse losses than any other economic sector from Trump’s plans to impose sweeping tariffs on imports and to undertake what he frequently has called “the largest domestic deportation operation” of undocumented immigrants “in American history.” Hospitals and other health providers in rural areas could face the greatest strain from proposals Trump has embraced to slash spending on Medicaid, which provides coverage to a greater share of adults in smaller communities than in large metropolitan areas. And small-town public schools… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 week ago
