IS GOP BASE SUPPORT FOR TRUMP'S ANTI-MUSLIM REMARK - REALLY ROOTED IN SMALL CITY IMMIGRANT FATIGUE?

Pundit's keep shaking their heads trying to understand why Donald Trump's caustic anti-immigrant remarks are getting so much support from Middle America.  I've got one possible answer.  As most people know, traditionally new immigrants settled at or near their ports of entry, usually in large coastal cities like New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Boston etc. but since at least the late 1970's Federal immigration policy has been locating new immigrants and refugees all across the united states often in small cities and towns.  I believe this began with Vietnamese and Laotian refugees following our misadventures in the Vietnam war.  Many small town Americans probably felt a sense of moral responsibility for these forsaken people following our undeclared war and then opportunist retreat with the enemy hot on our heals.  But then AFTER RESETTLING South East Asian refugees in the South and Middle America, the REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT INDUSTRY took off and has never looked back!

The sometimes unfortunate result of this federal and church group policy has been that there are many small towns and cities across America that have far too many peoples from far too many nations who speak far too many different languages for the local economies, schools, neighborhoods, businesses and job markets to comfortably absorb.   As a result, some of these once welcoming traditional American towns have completely lost their sense of place and qualities of life in the eyes of longtime residents as well as older people.  

This is very likely what is fueling the very strong NATIVIST hostility to and intolerance of Muslims and Mexicans two groups of immigrants whom are often associated with violence, subversion of our culture, and conduits for corruption, guns and drugs into the nation at large.    

MR TRUMP IS PROBABLY READING THE WRITINGS OF SAN BERNARDINO NATIVE "JOE TURNER" who nine years ago started a VERY similar campaign against illegal Hispanics!

MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR FEDERAL REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT POLICIES TO BE REVIEWED FOR THEIR "C.B.A". BEFORE THE (local)STORM TROOPERS START MARCHING AGAIN !!
