I think Trump is unnecessarily incendiary, but this article's stance -- and the mainstream stance -- that being opposed to illegal immigration somehow makes you racist is preposterous. What if you want a pathway to citizenship; does that mean you're only kinda racist? Is amnesty the only option guilt and shame free option available?
By setting up the straw man of racism, the left completely avoids talking about the issue of illegal immigration from an intellectually honest position. And in case any of you are wondering, I think deportation is impractical and would like to see a pathway to citizenship, but I also assert that we need to secure our borders.

Which is Jeb Bush's position as far as I can see.

Hm. Looks like I agree with Jeb on this, at least in the principal. Still don't love the guy though.
