The article discusses the hypocrisy of white conservatives who claim to support legal immigration while revealing their true sentiments through attacks on Zorhan Mamdani, a Muslim candidate for mayor in NYC. Despite being a long-time resident and having migrated at a young age, Mamdani faced calls from Republican leaders, such as Rep. Andy Ogles, for deportation based on unfounded accusations. The article highlights how these reactions expose a deeper racism and xenophobia, challenging the narrative that legal status is the only concern for these conservatives.
"If the notion that conservatives only objected to immigrants residing in the U.S. when their paperwork wasn't in order wasn't a big, fat lie, Republican voters would be far more outraged..."
"Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) posted on X: 'Zohran 'little muhammad' Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York.'"
