I have no idea how to combat senseless exclusionism.
How do you encourage people to realize that the people coming across the border are literally no different than the people in their own extended family, who are already Americans?

Oh no, they commit crimes! We all know Americans never commit crimes, so it's a valid criticism to vilify those crime-doers.
They want jobs! Those assholes want to come into our country and create value! The nerve!
They send money to their families in other countries! The richest Americans send most of their money into off-shore bank accounts with more favorable interest rates and other perks compared to American banks. They have the most incentive to find loopholes in tax laws, and they can afford to pay a specialist to find those loopholes. You think poor people sending money to their families even registers on this scale? C'mon... just c'mon.

Grow some balls and stop being afraid of people just because you haven't met them, yet, or their skin is a slightly different color, or they have less money than you.
Cowards.

It's going to take a couple of generations because a people don't change their world view in a statistically significant way during their lifetime. It's not like americans have changed between Obama and Trump, but the far right was mobilized by fear, and the left was not. You're going to have a slingshot effect next election where a progressive candidate will annihilate whatever republican runs against him.

From an outside perspective it looks like that at this point there can be no reasonable doubt that Trump is acting in the interest of Russia and SA. The way the pullout of Syria was handled makes no sense. If you're going to pull out, why not at least discuss it with the Pentagon... unless you were on the phone with Erdogan and he said: We'll cover up for your buddies in SA, and all we want in return is a small blood offering of 30,000 Kurds.

The US is not acting as a sovereign nation and the reason is that the POTUS holds too much power and lacks the necessary checks and balances, and there's no easy way out.
