If you want to find someone saying the Democrats should go even further right on immigration rhetoric and policy, you don’t have to look very far. In the pages of the Atlantic, the airwaves of NPR, in the Seattle Times, a certain (usually wrong about everything else) type of talking head saw the electoral shellacking of this recent presidential election, the collapse in the youth vote, and saw an opportunity not for self reflection but to double down.

We know that fear-mongering rhetoric about immigration does only one thing: softens the ground for the advance of [neo]fascism. And, Data For Progress shows, when it comes down to it, hard right policies on immigration aren’t particularly popular, either.
