Analysis: There’s a story about immigration that can unite the country, not divide it further
Steve Tobocman is a former Michigan State Legislator and Co-Director of the Michigan Political Leadership Program at Michigan State University. John Austin is former President of the Michigan State Board of Education and Director of the Michigan Economic Center. Researcher and Strategist Suzette Brooks Masters provided the authors with an analysis of the relevant research.
If Democrats do not craft a smarter and more broadly appealing message, they risk alienating voters and helping Trump win reelection in 2020. But fortunately, new research on how Americans respond to disruptive forces like immigration and the looming majority-minority demographic shift offers guidance on how politicians can talk about immigration in a way that appeals to a wide swath of voters, without compromising the Democratic values of inclusion and compassion.
In addition, research shows that talking about the coming “majority-minority” society and focusing on the “countdown” to that new reality only exacerbates racial anxiety and anti-immigrant sentiments. Social psychologistsRicheson and Maureen Craig found in 2014 that randomly assigned white Americans who read and heard more about America’s looming racial shifts were more likely to report negative feelings toward nonwhites and to favor restricting immigration.
