Still, the main reason Republicans are so daft on immigration is that a majority of them have completely internalized the rewritten Narrative of America as a “proposition nation”: an idea, not a country, with a racist past that must be atoned for. In other words, they accept in almost every particular the leftist/ruling-class Narrative designed to “fundamentally transform” the county in leftist/ruling-class interests and against the interests of Republican voters, constituencies, and communities.
