    Jeet Heer Retweeted Axios

    The "cultural message" of one side is that American identity is defined by whiteness; that of the other side side that people of all backgrounds can become American. Axios sees both sides as playing politicshttps://twitter.com/axios/status/1053834506824810496 …

    Be smart: Immigration in 2018 isn't about policy; it's about both sides making a cultural argument to turn out their base voters. https://www.axios.com/trump-2018-midterm-elections-immigration-policy-message-46d40760-b878-46d4-9521-720e8bc256a4.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic …

        Or Axios sees one side succeeding in messaging on immigration. Republicans, having failed to motivate voters over tax cuts/healthcare, have returned to xenophobia and hysteria about immigrants. "Abolish ICE" is therefore a really dumb message?

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        The media seems keenly aware of the problem while completely unreflective about their own role in how it got this way and how it is only going to get worse if they don't stop amplifying racist points of view.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        So I guess by this Atrios is arguing that the literal millions of people caught up in this admin's ethnic cleansing don't exist? When policies already have consequences, how can a thing not be about policies?

        well, he is not wrong: "End slavery" and "Conserve slavery" are political stanses. Civil War was "about politics"... cuz, politicos afect life and are not just abstrac concept to discuss with coffie and cookies.

        How do the unions, mostly Democratic, feel about immigration?

        Do you think immigrants don't join unions?
