Dave Weigel: “For a long time, Republicans thought they had to choose one of two options: Restrict legal immigration… or appeal to non-white voters, who’d be turned off by a hardline immigration position.”
“It is clearer than ever that Republicans don’t have to choose, and some of the candidates who excite the party the most are non-white conservatives who can argue against liberal race and immigration policy while laughing at accusations that they’re ‘racist.’”
