“immigration restrictionists” Hey, they’ve come up with another stupid euphemism!
Do they mean to say, those of us who adhere to the law and expect the Democrats to follow it as well?
“Immigration restrictionist” is a perfectly acceptable term, it’s not derogatory. We conservatives who were calling for less immigration 15 years ago, when it was less popular to do so, called ourselves that.
The derogatory terms are “anti-immigrant” and “nativist.” Although I use the later term proudly.
I think the NYT using that term is a sign of them capitulating a little and giving us more respect than when they would call us “anti-immigrant nativist bigots.”
