NY Times Editorial Board: “Trump Embraces a Senseless Immigration Proposal”
The New York Times editorial board in “Trump Embraces a Senseless Immigration Proposal” registers its displeasure with the proposed RAISE Act and sees it as a blatant effort by a President in trouble to appeal to his base: “The only way to understand Mr. Trump’s vocal support of an obvious turkey [i.e., the RAISE Act] is as yet another attempt to energize his dwindling base of right-wing and nativist supporters.” “Mr. Trump’s recent messages opposing transgender people in the armed forces and encouraging aggressive behavior by the police have been seen as efforts to recapture that base. His support for this immigration bill is more of the same.”
