The target, most likely, would be Trump’s earliest and most popular campaign scapegoat: immigrants. As immigrant communities themselves began to mobilize, others anticipated a looming moral test for those of us who are the children and grandchildren of immigrants. Even former President Barack Obama suggested that if Trump targeted the Dreamers, he would feel compelled to speak out like he would on no other issue. The impulse to prepare for that ultimate transgression is noble, but misguided, because the red line won’t arrive in the form of single galvanizing moment. We must not wait for an arbitrary moment ― a hypothetical firing, an intensified crackdown and roundup of Dreamers ― to mark our red line.
