Immigration and the Republican primary


The issue of undocumented immigrants is turning into a big issue in the Republican primary race and you can be certain that it will feature in a big way in the debates and that any crime committed by such a person is going to get huge amounts of attention and be promoted by Fox News and other conservative media as proof positive that these people are a serious menace and will kill us all in our beds if we don’t immediately round them up and throw them out.

Back in 2013, The Daily Show‘s Aasif Mandvi 2013 looked into this question.

    Well looks like the Latino vote is a no go for them *again*. Better hope there’s enough nativist/racists to stem the tide of non-white votes and women’s votes this time.

    @#1: Those days are gone. I’m so glad I’m young enough to get to witness how whites react to no longer being dominant in numbers in a few decades.

    Perhaps deporting all immigrants with less than three generations would satisfy the likes of Cruz and Rubio.

    There will be, after a new round of voter-purges culls out the rest.
