"i encourage the debate on immigration," he wrote, in "the des moines register." "but do not appropriate mollie's soul in advancing views she alieved were profoundly racist." rob tibbetts essay appeared a day after donald trump, jr., the president's namesake, wrote his own case arguing in favor of his father's proposed border policies, including a wall.
