How Democrats Used to Talk About Immigration

We have often observed how the GOP can take any event or presidential policy, no matter how antithetical to longstanding conservative doctrine, and embrace it as if it were an immutable expression of its philosophy. But Republicans do not have a monopoly on the politics of convenience.

Bob speaks with Beinart about whether Democrats should change their messaging to capture votes from Americans who are skeptical about liberal immigration policies.
