are the issue

and while nothing will probably get done, you tie hate crimes and domestic terrorism to immigration, nothing will happen for sure

To your second point, shooting up African Americans, targeting people of color, Jewish and other demographics, etc. has been going since the countries formation.

Focus on the hate groups, bringing immigration into this fray will only change the focus where it should be, toward the racists and bigots
