‘Death of identity politics’: Final blow dealt to Democrats for racist ‘prism of thinking’

Sky News contributor Joe Hildebrand has slammed the Democratic Party for relying on identity politics to savour the immigration debate during the presidential election, calling the practice a racist and eugenicist “prism of thinking”. Mr Hildebrand’s comments follow the appointment of Tom Homan as President-elect Trump’s border czar. The veteran immigration official will oversee US borders after Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2025. “The one demographic that is hurt the most by unchecked illegal immigration is poor working people,” Mr Hildebrand told Sky News hosts Liz Storer and James Macpherson. “This is why the Dems lost in a landslide – they were not representing the interests of working people, and it is pretty clear they didn’t even know or care. “The biggest threat to low-income Hispanic workers in America legally is low-income, low-skilled Hispanic workers entering America illegally. “They [Democrats] are so absolutely racist in their virtue that to them, they [immigrants] just all look the same. “That’s a disgusting way to look at people. “This is why this result is and must be the death of identity politics once and for all.”
