It’s clear what Donald Trump’s strategy is this November. He sees he may very well lose a Republican-led Congress that has failed to be a check on his blatant corruption, racism, and destructive policies. So in the Central Americans that are still thousands of miles away and are seeking asylum here, he wants you to see “criminals” and feel fear. Reject this. Reject his ignorant notion that vulnerable people, under U.S. and international law, do not have a right to seek asylum. They do. Reject his baseless lies—aided by mainstreamed propaganda—seeking to turn moms and children into shadowy figures that are supposedly a danger to you. In reality, they’re the ones escaping danger and they face further danger during their journey here, including their treatment under U.S. hands. As Kerry Eleveld wrote this past weekend, the Republican strategy of hate is “a sign of extreme desperation. After Democrats won the messaging war on the GOP's tax giveaway to the rich, it's simply too toxic to run on. And now that the GOP's supposed Kavanaugh ‘bump’ is fading, Republicans are left with nothing to sell but racism and sexism.” “Of course, we’ve seen homestretch fear-mongering over immigrants before,” noted immigrant rights coalition America’s Voice. “In Virginia’s 2017 governors race, Republican Ed Gillespie stoked fear of immigrants as his closing argument, and ended up losing by 9 percentage points. But that isn’t stopping Trump and the GOP from going back to the well.” All the while he’s hoping you’ll forget about the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients who continue to remain without permanent protections, the kidnapped migrant children who continue to remain under U.S. custody in blatant violation of a court order, and the mass deportation agents who continue their abuses while a complicit Republican-led Congress looks the other way.
