Noah Smith added,
I feel like Judis and Teixeira did America a double disservice. By convincing both parties that ethnic bloc voting + demographic destiny = permanent Dem dominance, they made the Dems complacent and the GOP insane and xenophobic.
I don’t think the timeline matches up. GOP was xenophobic before they came on the scene. Bush’s immigration reform was DOA in 2001. Ppl like Kris Kobach have always had this axe to grind and GOP racial appeals have been standard forever. The Tea Party came among later and pushed
This doesn't seem like an accurate timeline or characterization to me. Bush kept pushing amnesty through to 2006, and even in 2013 there was vigorous intra-GOP debate on whether to try to win Hispanic votes with a compromise on immigration.
There has always been a xenophobic contingent among the GOP, of course, but polls show significant variation over time:pic.twitter.com/v31sq3RWXX
This depicts responses to whether immigrants are a burden, which I think is not quite the right data to resolve a dispute about whether immigrants are a threat. Immigrants evolved into a threat in many people’s eyes after 1993 and 9/11, and this was pushed by career xenophobes
like Brimelow, CIS, etc. The 1996 leg had bipartisan support but it couldn’t have happened without serious GOP xenophobia.
I mean, I think there was always a xenophobic contingent, and that the early 90s saw a big spike in anti-Hispanic sentiment that seemed to calm down as the decade continued.
