Public Wants Much Less Immigration

The Washington Times reports interesting opinion polling concerning public attitudes toward immigration. You won’t find these results in the legacy media, they’re very un-PC.
A Harvard-Harris poll taken in the run-up to the shutdown found Americans strongly support granting citizenship rights to illegal immigrant Dreamers. But they also back Mr. Trump’s three demands for a border wall, limits to the chain of family migration and an end to the Diversity Visa Lottery.

Most striking of all is the public’s demand for lower overall legal immigration — a position that has little traction on Capitol Hill but one that is overwhelmingly popular across the country. (emphasis added)
Okay, here is the deal for Republicans to get behind: give green cards to otherwise uncriminal Dreamers, build the wall, close the rest of the loopholes, and limit legal immigration. Failing that, start sending all the undocumented, including Dreamers, ‘home.’

With apologies to Frankie Laine, a tongue-in-cheek work song for ICE:
Movin’, movin’, movin’,
Though they’re disapprovin’
Keep those undocs movin’
