Demagogues need an identifiable enemy, someone or something guaranteed to get people riled up enough to dislodge their better angels (if they have any). Donald Trump road to fame on the backs of Mexican immigrants who come in illegally, pegging them as druggies, rapists, welfare cheats, and worse (if there is such a thing). But Trump is wrong. Mexicans and other Hispanic immigrants, both legal and otherwise are some of the best, most productive, people in the country. The real enemy of our great and grand experiment in participatory democracy are not immigrants, but those who would take the country back to the bad old days of Jim Crow, of institutional racism, segregated schools, and all the problems in human misery that goes with it.
