MSNBC’s Ali Velshi on Saturday featured a guest who charged “the politics of Republican redistricting really reflects a kind of ugly logic of removal” where “they’re trying to disappear certain voices and populations.” Cristina Beltran, associate professor at New York University’s Department of Social and Cultural Analysis, asserted “Stephen Miller couldn’t do it or Trump couldn’t do it,” but now following new census numbers they will try through redistricting. 

Beltran, author of the book, ‘Cruelty as Citizenship: How Migrant Suffering Sustains White Democracy,’ contended “the GOP really can’t make the nation whiter, so they’re using redistricting to strip citizens of their power and to make Congress look less like America.”
