When Trump came down that escalator and called Mexican's rapists. The Democrats immediately had to take the other side.
THe real Democrats sticking point is, Can you promote mass immigration and greater economic redistribution but not assimilate? After all, assimilate and melting pots is a dirty word, it's microaggression and systemically racist.
