Perspective: Why Donald Trump’s immigration play could backfire big time in 2020
Workers prepare for the arrival of President Trump at the El Paso County Coliseum on Feb. 11, 2019, in El Paso. By Shira Lurie Shira Lurie is a PhD candidate in history at the University of Virginia. She is completing a dissertation on political protest in the early United States March 19 at 6:00 AM President Trump’s recent budget proposal asks Congress for $8.6 billion to fund the construction of a southwestern border wall.
Limiting Trump to one term is at the top of Democrats’ agenda. They might take solace in that the first one-term president in U.S. history also took an unpopular stance on immigration. This move backfired, hinting ominously at how Trump’s refusal to look beyond his base could prove politically fatal.
Sincere or not, these claims shrouded a far more basic political motive: Immigrants almost always allied with the Jeffersonian Democratic-Republican opposition, and the Federalists hoped to shield American politics from their electoral influence. The Democratic-Republicans howled that the legislation was a partisan power grab.
