In South Texas, the GOP immigration hard line is now political kryptonite - POLITICO

The 15th Congressional District was among those redrawn by the Texas legislature's redistricting gambit last year, offering De La Cruz an even more favorable electorate. But that bet relies heavily on Hispanic voters sticking with the GOP: Nearly 80 percent of the district identifies as Hispanic or Latino, and if those voters flip back to the Democratic Party or stay home, it could erase much of the new map's intended friendliness to Republicans…

Latino evangelical support for Christian nationalism rises as Trump courts religious vote

The Protestant reverend, who was born in Puerto Rico, said that the ideology's undercurrent of racism and patriarchy can facilitate a marginalization of vulnerable groups or minorities, including immigrants. "A magnificent job has been done by groups that are extremists to convince even the immigrants themselves that the new immigrants are a threat," Malavé said. 

Malavé said Christian nationalism, which erases the separation of church and state, is based on the supremacy of white culture and the supremacy of Christianity over other religions...

On Advice From Trump, Mexicans And Latinos Will Bring A 15,000-Foot ‘Beautiful’ Wall To Cleveland

Donald Trump’s immigration policy dream of erecting a massive wall along the border with a “beautiful” door — all paid for by Mexicans — may soon come true as he accepts his party’s nomination at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.

This week, immigrant activists began a crowd-funded campaign to build and pay for materials to create a 15,000-foot banner wall that they will construct around the perimeter of the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland next week. Parts of the “wall” will be made from 4′ x 4′ panels held by activists to create a physical wall. Other parts will be made of fabric, painted by artists (and kids) to look like a real wall. Still more parts of the wall will be “gorgeous murals” painted on structures around the city, the fundraiser website revealed....
