The attack in Tacoma coincided with left-wing protests at ICE facilities all over the country, prompted by nationwide ICE raids targeting Central American families whom immigration judges have ordered to be deported after reviewing their claims.
What's most remarkable in all this is that not one Democratic 2020 contender has felt the need to breathe a word about the importance of American citizenship and sovereignty.
One in three Americans think immigration levels should be decreased, a larger share than think it should be increased, and yet the vast majority think immigration is good for the country.
It's not going to be enough for 2020 Democrats to stick to their rote talking points about the border crisis and the suffering of migrants now in detention, especially since the policies in place are the same ones in place during the Obama administration.
A majority in the group said Trump was handling the border crisis "Professionally and responsibly." Immigration came up repeatedly, and when it did, "Their responses sounded a lot like the 'America First' message President Trump has been championing."
"Give them free benefits, this that and the other thing. That is ridiculous," said Rhonda H. "We need to focus on Americans and not the immigrants," said Paul T. The upshot here is that Americans are paying attention to immigration and the border in ways the Democrats and the media don't seem to think they are.
They're seeing a major political party cave to its most extreme elements and align itself with the idea that American sovereignty and citizenship aren't important, that patriotism is problematic, and that the American people should have no say in who is allowed to enter the country and stay.
