It's not true that Trump's base is composed of communities who have "significant problems with immigration;" in fact Trump does worse in these areas. Contact with immigrants makes people less likely to support Trump. [1] I agree that the left does no good by labeling Trump supporters as racists. This at best shuts down dialogue, and at worst falsely accuses well-meaning citizens. But that doesn't mean the left must buy into a false narrative about Trump as a reaction to immigration or economic anxieties. Any such anxieties are a rationalization of Trump's support, not its driver. Efforts by the left to address these "anxieties" won't move the polls at all.
