It was mainstream for conservatives then. It’s been mainstream for conservatives for a long time.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal did a good historical article on this a few months ago.

Plenty of conservative politicians have run on anti-immigrant platforms (or keeping Americans in America). This is really nothing new. (Conservatives don’t do “new.”)

I’m talking about strictly the Presidency. I very much disagree with you that Bush and Reagan were anti-immigrant. They sucked but not for that erason. OF course, it’s not new especially among the base. As I got at, those people in so aclled flyover country have always been xenophobic but what’s different now is having an ally in the CinC.
