To The Editor: 

The more we watch Donald Trump and his allies, the clearer it becomes that their immigration policies are racially driven. Rather than openly declaring racial exclusion, they conflate immigration with crime. Most Americans reject explicit racism, but everyone cares about safety. By implying that Black and brown immigrants make communities dangerous, Trump has persuaded many Americans to support restrictive policies.
