Oh, I"m sure...I mean, it won't really jive with their "America first" and culture war BS, but they'll bring up any chestnut that makes the other side look bad.
Fun side note, I go to a small, old white country folk church with my my wife every sunday and the weekly prayer was basically:
Dear god, please let us help those suffering people in Afghanistan who just want out of a bad situation, and also protect us from the dangerous refugees who keep trying to invade from Mexico.
How long until the "if 1% of M&Ms in a bowl were poisoned, would you take a handful?" meme starts making the rounds again?
