The modern Democratic Party has stood for the dispossessed, and marginalized groups have responded by supporting Democratic causes. Democrats, if they hope to appeal to the more diverse U.S. currently being built, must continue to be a party of tolerance, not a party of protectionism and xenophobia.But to unite U.S. workers and immigrants, Democrats need...
