Understanding anger and catering to that anger are two different issues. If anti-immigrant anger is centered around tangible issues such a weak job market or low salaries, then there may be a variety of policy solutions that can be applied to improve things, depending on your view of what is needed. If this is simply a backlash based on racial or religious intolerance, what does the author propose as a solution? Should our national leaders restructure our social and economic policies based on racist doctrine?

There's a difference between addressing a problem and simply catering to the byproduct of that problem. The author cautions on ignoring this movement, but some things MUST be ignored if we are to preserve the social standards that exist within a free country.
