       > The third night of the DNC confirmed just how dramatically the
       party has swung on immigration — to the right.
       > ...
       > On the third night of the Democratic National Convention four
       years ago, immigration was front and center. Americans heard a
       series of personal stories about how Trump-era policies had
       scrambled immigrants’ and their families’ lives.
       > ...
       > Four years later, the DNC sounds a lot different, reflecting
       how public opinion toward immigration in general has soured as
       concerns over how secure the border is have risen. Gone are the
       heartfelt testimonies from undocumented immigrants, the
       repudiation of Trump-era policies, and the calls for better
       treatment of migrants and expansion of asylum protections.
       Instead, Wednesday evening’s speakers embraced tougher policies
       for asylum seekers, praised President Joe Biden’s attempts to
       negotiate a bipartisan border security bill, and conceded the
       changed reality of immigration politics since the pandemic’s
       dawn.
       > ...
       > Migrant hardships don’t seem to be much of a concern this year
       > ...
       > In past party conventions, Democrats made significant attempts
       to highlight the plight of young immigrants and immigrant
       families — be they families split apart because of immigration
       policy, young DREAMers struggling and succeeding in America
       despite not having documentation, or activists working toward
       immigration reform.
       >
       > In 2012, for example, Benita Veliz, a DREAMer from San
       Antonio, Texas, became the first undocumented person to address
       a national party’s political convention — telling millions of
       viewers how she graduated as a top student and earned a double
       major in college before nearly being deported over a traffic
       violation. A DREAMer, she praised the Obama plan to roll out
       deportation protections in the Deferred Action for Childhood
       Arrivals (DACA) program.
       >
       > Four years later, another DREAMer would join first lady
       Michelle Obama and Sen. Bernie Sanders as keynote speakers
       during Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s convention. Astrid
       Silva would tell her story of coming to the US as a 4-year-old
       with her mother, climbing into a raft to cross the Rio Grande,
       with just “a little doll.”
       >
       > And 2020 was all about contrasts with Trump, and the human
       suffering he had caused during his presidency.
       > ...
       > But there was hardly any wholehearted embrace of immigration
       in general this week, rarely a welcoming of economic migrants
       seeking “a better life,” as in past conventions.
       > ...
       > the direction the party is heading was evident throughout the
       night: Gone are the Obama- and Clinton-era days of casting the
       Democratic Party as the unequivocal pro-immigrant party. The
       differences in the convention platforms make that clear as well.
       The 2024 party platform supports quicker deportations of
       economic migrants and stricter asylum rules — including the
       ability to stop processing those asylum claims.
       > ...
       > 2024’s Democrats sound very different from 2020 — when none of
       these kinds of stricter proposals appeared in the party’s
       platform.

       Even if we defeat Trump in the upcoming election, we will not
       have defeated Trumpism until we return to the pre-Trump attitude
       towards immigration.
