Summary

Donald Trump became president because some Americans felt trapped – no economic freedom, too much political correctness, a dubious future time. People in Homer, Alaska, especially felt that way in February of 2017 when a group of citizens proposed a resolution welcoming immigrants to “The Halibut Fishing Capital of the World,” a city sitting at the end of a spit on the Kenai Peninsula, making it the least accessible destination in the United States for any would-be traveler, immigrant or not. When National Public Radio producer Brian Reed asked people in Homer if they had ever encountered an undocumented immigrant, they said they had not. Chief of Police Mark Robel backed up their story.1
