Been saying this for months. Now there is some polling data to support the premise

That headline may be self-evident these days, but at least we have some pretty solid data to back it up.

According to a new Pew Research study, if you look just at Republican voters who think the growing number of newcomers in the United States “threatens traditional American customs and values,” more than twice as many have "warm feelings toward Donald Trump" as have cold ones. Among those who say immigrants strengthen U.S. society, it's about 2-to-1 in the other direction.

Fear of Islam, immigrants and diversity are leading indicators of Donald Trump support

Support for Trump is based on bigotry and xenophobia

The same was true of feelings about Islam and the fact that the U.S. population, in a few decades, will be mostly black, Latino and Asian, not white. In both cases, attitudes more antipathetic toward Islam and the country's increasing diversity were more in-line with Trump support, while people who thought Islam is not more violent than other religions and that increased diversity isn't a bad thing were colder toward Trump.

In order for America to become great, it must be a White nation.

Shocking. Those in favor of legal immigration prefer Trump. Amazing stuff.
 
Fear is the power plant of all right-wingers, their very core, their reason for existence.

They don't favor that either. Their motto is, never welcome the stranger, and always fear him.

Incorrect. A realistic understanding of the situation encourages us to be vigilant and to take steps that are common sense. Fear has nothing to do with it.

There isn't anyone who says that current immigration laws should be removed. They just want them enforced so if people were really as bigoted and xenophobic as you say then why isn't anyone proposing that we have zero immigration into this country?

Support for The Donald is based on the fact that people with common sense could care less about douchebags labeling The Donald or themselves with buzzwords promoted by the fallacy controlled slander machine of the establishment.

Fear has everything to do with it. Take away fear and paranoia and you'd have nothing but hatred left.

Not buying it. There will be some obviously but the man has more support than any other GOP candidate in our lifetime if you go by vote totals. I refuse to believe all those people fit into your little box.
 
We take in between 600,000 and a million immigrants every year. More than the rest of the world combined. We are a very kind and generous country.
 
By the way if anyone thinks "diversity" means anything other than bias against Whites, they have the IQ of a Crazy Bernie voter. :p

Immigration laws are being enforced, to ‘argue’ otherwise is as ignorant as it is wrong.

That you believe they’re ‘not being enforced’ for subjective, partisan reasons doesn’t make it true.

Conservatives are, for the most part, reactionaries – they fear change, diversity, dissent, and expressions of individual liberty – these facts are settled, accepted, and beyond dispute.

And immigration is particularly frightening to most on the right, where nativism has been fundamental dogma of republicans for 150 years.
 
I have to be pretty honest and I do think that their is a deliberate plot to overturn the dominant bourgeois culture in the United States. What if you were someone who just hated the capitalist society for various reasons. You can't change how people behave or their values so you decide to import masses of people into the country in order to overturn that thinking. The once dominant bourgeois culture is now a minority. I would call that a successful strategy if I ever saw one. The communist did a very similar thing by promoting non-russians to important jobs. Can you say 'affirmative action'?
