"2008. #Obama slams the #Bush Administration for not doing enough to combat the problem of #illegalimmigration." #immigration https://archive.is/UNAvk "For people who weren't alive to remember the politics of the early 2000s, the debate on immigration was the exact opposite of what it is today. The #DemocraticParty viewed open borders as, in the words of Bernie #Sanders, a "#Koch brothers proposal"-- that Republicans wanted to displace American workers with cheap labor at the behest of their corporate donors. George W. #Bush, on the other hand, was an honest-to-God open borders ideologue. He and Karl #Rove had this brilliant theory that importing as many #Hispanic #immigrants as possible would make our country better and lead to them voting Republican forever. Then at some point, Democrats realized the only way they could continue to win elections is by changing the demographics of the country-- while a businessman from #NewYork came along to save the #GOP from its pathetic leaders of the past." https://archive.is/4Nf4F
