(10,602 posts)We must find a way to counter what they will do. This latest incident just sadly adds to their rhetoric. And for some voters it really rings. Willie Horton kinds of ads sadly worked. I remember seeing that ad. The ad was misleading and it was NOT countered.
The other issue is that the GOP does not really want to address illegal immigration. They want to be able to use it like they have race for decades really. Because they will not directly address sanctioning employers for hiring undocumented workers there still is an incentive for people to cross the border. In a way the GOP has actually helped make the problem worse on purpose.
At DOL you could see the consequences of employers hiring undocumented workers from all over the planet. It was not just Hispanics. But they were targeted because of convenience.
Now you say gloom and doom perhaps. The fact that the GOP has been actually rewarded over the years for their mayhem makes it difficult to feel optimistic. The GOP has trashed so much over time, yet they have ended up with total control.
None of these elections should even be close the GOP has done so much damage and hurt so many people directly. I simply cannot understand seeing a report of some voter knowing that the GOP has screwed them directly still showing allegiance.
