Democrats going against wishes of Americans on immigration

Poll after poll in this country shows that the American people overwhelmingly want our borders enforced and dangerous illegal immigrants removed from the country.

Yet, Democrats continue to fight for illegals, now possibly to the party’s demise.

Polling Holds Steady

My regular readers know I am a poll junkie, and I pride myself on being able to decipher polls over the long run to be able to predict elections, and I think I have been pretty good at it over the years.

Well, right now I am following a different kind of polling, and that is in how the American people feel about illegal immigration.

There is no give here, with yet another poll overwhelmingly showing the American people support deporting illegals back to their native country, to the tune of 63.5% wanting to see them deported.

While Democrats overall oppose deportation, support for keeping illegals in the country is only at 55%, so this issue is pretty much settled by swing voters, who back the deportations by 66%.

The Apology Tour

If Democrats are going to win back the White House, they have to win back more than just Democrat voters, and this apology tour for illegals like Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not going to play well with swing voters.

Yet, numerous Democrats have gone to El Salvador to advocate for Garcia, as well as the other gang members who were deported, not to mention fighting Trump every step of the way on his immigration agenda.

To that point, in late April, the White House called them all out, stating, “Today, four more Democrats — Rep. Robert Garcia of California, Rep. Maxwell Frost of Florida, Rep. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, and Rep. Maxine Dexter of Oregon — are in El Salvador, picking up their party’s mantle of prioritizing a deported illegal immigrant MS-13 gang member over the Americans they represent.”

The release then went on to outline various crimes by illegals committed in the representatives' respective states, asking why these Democrats never brought up those incidents.

Publicity Stunts

I just finished reading an opinion piece in The Hill that hit the nail on the head, titled, “Democrats care only for illegal immigrants and criminals, not for you.”

At one point, the author writes, “These politicians brought cameras with them because the whole thing was planned for public relations purposes. Naturally, the media slurped it up. Time magazine ran a piece entitled, ‘A New Jersey ICE Facility. A Warning for the Country,’ whose author declares, ‘From my vantage point, as someone intimately familiar with its surroundings, Delaney Hall’s existence stands in opposition to the values of the very community where it is located, and the dissonance is staggering.  I know this because I grew up a couple of miles from the facility, near Wilson Avenue, a busy thoroughfare teeming with immigrant-owned bakeries and coffee shops.’

“This holding facility for violent illegal aliens is ‘in opposition to the values of the very community where it is located?’ What does that even mean? Does the community enjoy being victimized by violent criminals? Does the community value violence against law abiding citizens and legal immigrants?”

I don’t know why Dems are choosing to die on this hill, but I think the American people are getting sick and tired of it. Americans are hurting right now, and rather than fighting to make our lives better, they spend all their time advocating for TdA and MS-13 gang members, as well as other criminals and people who ignore our immigration laws to enter this country. It’s despicable.
