"Illegal immigrants are pouring into our country bringing crime and disease. The Democrats are doing this to you. I will protect you. The media tells lies about me, but I'm brave and I keep standing up and telling you the truth. A lot of people are listening. Let's take back our country."

This is what Trump's followers hear. This is what our seemingly reasonable relatives and neighbors think when they tell us "I don't like Trump but I like his policies."

This is what we're up against. It's age-old propaganda against the other.

Fight back. Tell people that you aren't afraid of immigrants.
