Obviously Republicans should want America to be white again, just as Dems want America to become brown. Everyone is vaguely aware of voting patterns, so let's talk about it explicitly.

Finally Republicans are waking up to this strategy. It's about time. Dems don't understand how destructive their strategy will be even to themselves, but people are short-sighted and we're never going to convince them.

So when Pelosi says, "they want to make America white again", I think the correct response is: "Yeah, & you want to make America brown. You've seen the exit polls. You know nonwhites are reliable Dem voters. You want to change America to have more of your voters, and so do I."

We might at first think that these are symmetric positions: you want more of your voters, I want more of mine. In practice they're not. They get more voters by bringing in third worlders. We get more voters by having kids. (Stopping inflows slows our decline, as well)

Which of these is more in line with traditional notions of democracy? Who does the government have a responsibility to?

Yeah you've got to realize they did this stuff openly for many decades, even imported foreigners to kill native-born Americans in the Civil War. They didn't conveniently forget that was a possibility in time to pass Hart Celler

The way they talked about it was very different from the 80s through about 2008. Dems used to frequently claim to want better border control. In 2006 they voted for a better border fence. Obama, Hillary, and Bill all said things that would never fly today.

The Dem party in the 90s had an anti-immigration, environmentalist, and anti-globalization wing. That didn't disappear until the Obama era
-
Anti-globalization I'll give you, but my assessment has always been that any recent Democratic expression of anti-immigration sentiment was always about electoral triangulation, not conviction
-
E.g. they said they opposed illegal immigration because it was electorally unpalatable not to, not because they opposed it.
-
The Sierra Club opposition to immigration was genuine, and it only changed post-2000
-
As a 1998 vintage shitlib I remember people considering the Sierra Club very regressive and embarrassing for that
