I trust you don’t need me to convince you that Republicans are the party of White Supremacy.  The presence of Bannon in the Fuhrer’s Reich, and decades of innumerable dog whistles should have already done that.  However, it’s refreshing to see a journalist expose the bigotry and debunk the bogus claims of Republican racist policy.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"GOPImmigration\"This week during a press briefing on the Trump administration\u2019s latest immigration bill, CNN\u2019s Jim Acosta had an interesting exchange with White House Senior Policy Advisor Stephen Miller. It was an eye opening look into the mindset of this administration and those pulling the strings. The public reaction to it was another example of how divided we are as a country and exactly how misguided many have become.<\/p>\n

When Acosta compared the verbiage in the new bill to \u201cThe New Colossus,\u201d the poem written on the base of the Statue of Liberty, Miller attempted to rewrite history by stating the words were added later. In doing so, he was insinuating that the poem and its meaning had no bearing on American history or policy.<\/p>\n

I grew up in the \u201980s, and I remember \u201cLiberty Weekend.\u201d That was the celebration and rededication of the Statue on its 100th anniversary. I remember that poem being read more times than I could count, I also recall having to memorize it in the 5th grade. Ronald Reagan, during that event, said that America was made up of \u201ca special kind of people from every corner of the world, who had a special love for freedom.\u201d He understood the fabric and DNA of this country.<\/p>\n

He understood what made us.<\/p>\n

Make no mistake, America is in distress. We are on the verge of forgetting our past and forfeiting our future to the ideology of white nationalism. We live in a nation founded, built, and loved by immigrants, yet today its part of our history many wish to deny. By attacking and demonizing the immigrants of today, we till up the roots of those who came before that made us who we are.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
