The intelligent conversation we're not having on immigration

Salon  

Heading into November, Donald Trump’s rhetorical strategy on the economy is simple: Insist it is doomed, blame it on Kamala Harris and tie everything back to immigration. Overnight, Trump became chief enabler to the chief “criminals” he claimed were killing Americans, and his base didn’t even hear about it as Fox News called President Biden an “accessory to murder.” After Trump destroyed the border bill, over the following seven months, he failed to craft a thoughtful alternative. As Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah put it to CNN, “he fact that would communicate to Republican senators and congresspeople that he doesn’t want us to solve the border problem because he wants to blame Biden for it is … really appalling.” Effective immigration policy is key to growth Last year, Republican governors correctly cited the country’s economic dependence on immigrant labor, describing job vacancies that were hurting the U.S. economy. Two years ago, the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association begged Congress to expand their accessible labor pool with immigration, complaining that the American dairy industry needs immigrants to address “an acute national labor crisis,” that “would soon worsen.” It was no different this year in Springfield, Ohio, where CEOs were desperate to attract migrant workers. On Wednesday, in front of supporters in Traverse City, Michigan Vance stuck to the ‘Harris caused it, immigrants did it, and Trump will fix it’ rhetorical formula anyway: “f we want to allow American citizens to afford a home again, we’ve got to start by deporting the millions of illegal aliens that Kamala Harris let come into this country.” Here’s a counter-formula for the Harris camp: Trump lies, Vance amplifies, their thirst for power is dangerous.
