Who Bears the Brunt of the Shutdown?
Juan Williams, political analyst for Fox News and the author of What the Hell Do You Have to Lose?: Trump's War on Civil Rights (PublicAffairs, 2018), examines the claims that people of color bear the brunt of the shutdown and of low-wage immigrant labor.
"66% percent of Black people… favor a path to legal citizenship. The President plays on anger, resentment, grievance to try to advance himself politically," says @TheJuanWilliams, adding, "this is intentionally done to divide Blacks and immigrants."
