He had to oppose Trump’s position on what... immigration? Were there enough illegales in his district to matter? Weren’t the rest mainly “fair and square” even though taking advantages of loose quotas?

The devil is in the details. Not everybody’s local desires will be in line with a national policy idea. If a locality wants to be, not an illegal sanctuary, but still a legal immigration magnet, then its willingness should be taken into account. To want to be in Maine doesn’t mean to be showing up with equal probability in the other 49, etc.

The answer is probably that a lot of the new immigrants haven't become citizens yet.

By the time they do, some new ethnic groups may hate each other more than they hate Whitie.

It's naive to think White versus non-White is the only dimension in American politics.

That’s not impossible; when the Grand Lefty Plan finally disintegrates of its hateful foolishness, many will be staring at one another accusing them of leaving the others holding the bag.

I always thought Havana Street was in Aurora,Co which is east of Denver. Mike Coffman is not in Denver. Suburb Yes. Not Denver.

"Why are you there?"

Lived here since 1968. Why do you live where you do? :-)

Family, friends, church, real estate rental investments, etc.

We can't *all* be lucky enough to live in CA or MA or NY or NJ, you know.

Perhaps this could be a case study in how Republicans can embrace “diversity” crowds into the big tent.

By opposing the President on immigration and DACA and zero tolerance? His opponent is bringing up the environment and the tax plan; if Coffman has to take positions opposite of Trump on those too then what has your big tent accomplished?

DACA could bite him if there’s a lot of that in his district. But is there a lot of it? I’m hearing that most non-illegale immigrants are fine with tight enforcement against illegales.
