You can oppose specific kinds of “reform” - specifically, so-called “guest worker” proposals - on grounds that are the opposite of racist - on grounds that this kind of “reform” is horrible for immigrants because it relegates them to a permanently disempowered underclass. A truly positive immigration reform package would be one that increased legal immigration levels and made sure that those coming into our country have exactly the same economic rights and economic leverage as domestic workers. That’s good for everyone. David Sirota ☀
