What Feminist Wins Can Teach Us About Immigration
Quote:Immigration remains a poison pill on many issues, perhaps because it’s so closely associated with disruption of the status quo. And for those who worry that they will be displaced or ignored as the country changes, as well as for those whose racism blinds them, opposing immigration measures, no matter how counterproductive, will remain a popular approach.
But we can take the lessons learned from other initiatives, like Welcoming America or the campaign for VAWA, to create a framework in which we offer solutions that make the national interest real and concrete, proposing immigration fixes that are part of a bigger solution.
