"In the United States, immigration has increasingly become a question of national security." I don't think so. In the sense politicians on the stump express it this way, perhaps, but that is a mask. Visiting friends tonight from Upper Michigan, really nice folks.. It is clear that ordinary folks, including others we have talked to recently, are wanting to restrict immigration because they are racially bigoted, , full of hatred of others, fearful of other religions and colors. They have bought the classic Koolaid. Also voted form Trump because they could not vote for Hillary because of abortion, even abortions as late as nine months. Practicing Catholics, most generous, caring, genuine folks one could meet..

No N-words in this conversation but several folks used it at a meeting spouse was at, all US northerners down south.
