By Ethan Fauré

When a fundamentally punitive position is embraced by both candidates, you can pretty much bank on voters choosing the more cruel of the two. And with both presidential candidates running on asylum crackdowns and increasing border militarization, the anti-immigrant movement was well positioned to influence policy no matter the outcome of yesterday’s presidential election.
