Even if you're only going to be reading that quote I struggle to understand how that is your comprehension of the quote?
A government that made tangible progress restoring a sense of order and fairness in the public realm would not satisfy the anti-immigrant hardcore, but it wouldn’t have to. A period of sustained competence – just making the systems work – would drain so much poison out of the debate.

.e. make things work and the plebs will stop doing a racism, I fundamentally reject that too. It's grossly classist and ignores the fact racism and anti-immigration is not exclusively a working class problem.
It is saying; 1. Making the immigration system function won't change the views of people who are vermently anti-immigration 2. Making the immigration system function will take the heat out of the debate for the majority.

If what you quoted is the long and short of his argument, i.e. make things work and the plebs will stop doing a racism, I fundamentally reject that too. It's grossly classist and ignores the fact racism and anti-immigration is not exclusively a working class problem.
