Transcript:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Panel 1
\nTwo men are in a park, talking.<\/p>\n

CAPTION: 2009
\nMAN 1: We don’t have anything against immigrants. Just against illegals.
\nMAN 2: Don’t call people “illegals.”<\/p>\n

Panel 2
\nA TV screen plays. On the TV, a blonde woman cheerfully talks.<\/p>\n

CAPTION: 2011
\nWOMAN: Anti-immigrant? That’s ridiculous. The GOP has no problem with immigrants who follow the rules.<\/p>\n

Panel 3
\nA scowling man leans over a laptop, typing furiously, sitting in an empty coffee shop.<\/p>\n

CAPTION: 2014
\nMAN (what he’s typing): That’s yet another libtard lie – that Republicans are anti-immigrant, just because we want to get illegals out!<\/p>\n

Panel 4
\nA man wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap is speaking angrily.<\/p>\n

CAPTION: 2016
\nMAN: It’s so unfair to call Republicans anti-immigrant! We’re just anti-illegal immigrant.<\/p>\n

Panel 5
\nA shot of the White House. Two word balloons, indicating people inside the building speaking, come out of the white house.<\/p>\n

CAPTION: Literally the first week of a Republican presidency<\/p>\n

VOICE 1: Should our new immigration ban also include green card holders who are legal U.S. residents?
\nVOICE 2: Hell yes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
