Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Another Brick In The Wall

Eugene Robinson notes that after a week of quiet, Trump has exploded on Twitter again, proferring lie after lie about immigration.  Interestingly, Robinson posits that it is because Trump isn't getting his wall built and he worries about losing his nativist base.  More likely, he's simply hearing that he's not getting the wall built from his daily infusions of Fox and Friends or from the spittle-flecked ravings of Lou Dobbs. 

Either way, I expect the treatment of Hispancis, whether undocumented or not, to get worse.
