Leaving daffy Donald out of the discussion - If Senator Schatz opposes "restrictions on immigrants" and calls restrictions, racist, then that means he endorses the US policy of open borders without restrictions, which has been the unwritten US policy and has evolved into avoiding the use of  "illegal immigrant" into the euphemism of "undocumented worker". 

Name calling and obfuscating border security and immigration with emotionalism and accusations of racism so that a continued veiled US policy of allowing cheap labor to flow through porous borders is a failure of our representative Schatz.

Why doesn't he just say, Half the US citizens like open borders and believe it creates a multicultural vitality in our country, while half believe that it is bringing down wages of US citizens and diluting it's culture - Hey, let's talk about it.

If politicians were honest, then there would be less reason to have to listen to somebody like Trump.
