Fareed Zakaria is as establishmentarian a voice as they come, but this advice of his for the Democrats is not within the establishmentarian consensus of the last few decades: “The Democrats need to talk about America’s national identity in a way that stresses the common elements that bind, not the particular ones that divide. Policies in these areas do matter. The party should take a position on immigration that is less absolutist and recognizes both the cultural and economic costs of large-scale immigration.” Zakaria mentions Peter Beinart’s recent argument that liberals should rethink immigration. (I suggested a little more rethinking here.) Perhaps Beinart and Zakaria are signs that the elite consensus on immigration is moving in a better direction. If so, it’s a happy result of President Trump’s election.
