Washington, D.C. (July 30, 2019) - Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, and Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) discuss tonight's Democratic debate. Sen. Cotton says, "The Democrats have lost their minds when it comes to immigration." The Senator points out that the former Chair of the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform, Democrat Rep. Barbara Jordan, as well as many old Democratic union leaders used to share his view of immigration, but that the party is now focused less on kitchen table issues and on what matters to working-class Americans and more on questions of race, gender, and sex. He says, "For them it has become more a question of identity than a question about economics and security." Mass migration, the senator notes, is a good bargain for the elite as immigrants are not taking their jobs or impacting their local economies. Mass migration actually drives down the price of the personal services, like childcare, house cleaning, landscaping etc., on which the elite depend. This is the class the Democratic party now represents. View the stream of the full event here.
