The debate about immigration and the humanitarian crisis at the US-Mexico border has taken center stage in the 2024 elections. But the terms of that \u201cdebate\u201d have been set by Donald Trump and the MAGA right, who are calling for \u201cmass deportation\u201d and continue to demonize and scapegoat immigrants as the root cause of America\u2019s economic and political decline. With Democrats adopting much of the right\u2019s framing of the \u201cimmigration debate\u201d and the \u201cborder crisis,\u201d how should the left respond? In the face of the MAGA right\u2019s neofascist anti-immigrant campaign, what can working people do\u2014during this election season and beyond\u2014to build a truly multiracial resistance that defends the rights of all?
