'It's not the same party I identified with in my youth, which was pro-immigration...That party doesn't exist anymore,' said Republican immigration lawyer Dario Aguirre.

A lifelong Republican immigration lawyer has said President Donald Trump's hardline approach to immigration has left him disenfranchised from his party and unable to recognize the"Grand Old Party," he once believed in.

In the years since and with another federal election on the horizon, however, Aguirre says that he has never felt so disenfranchised by the"disgusting" policies and rhetoric coming out of the White House on the Republican Party's watch. Much like Reagan famously said when he parted ways with the Democratic Party and joined the GOP, Aguirre said:"I didn't leave the party, the party left me."

"They feel persecuted in the sense that there is a new other... It's never been just so raw and blatant, at least not in my memory," Aguirre said. Like many others, Aguirre said he holds Trump responsible for having stoked anti-immigrant sentiments in the country, with the U.S. leader facing blame for having allowed the beliefs that appear to have fuelled Saturday's attack to thrive.
