We Are Not Fooled

Mollie Hemingway, who writes for The Federalist, reports the results of an Economist/YouGov poll. It turns out Americans basically agree with Trump about immigration. She writes:

Asked which policy they prefer for how to handle families that are stopped for crossing the border illegally, two-thirds of the 1,500 surveyed said they support detention for lawbreakers and less than 20 percent responded that they support previous presidential administrations’ policy of letting the lawbreakers enter the country with a promise to return for a later court date.

Given a choice for how to handle illegal border crossing arrests, some 44 percent of Americans chose “hold families together in family detention centers until an immigration hearing at a later date.” Another 20 percent of U.S. adults chose detention options that would separate families. Only 19 percent chose to return to the policy of allowing people who cross the border illegally to go without detention on the promise they’d return for a court hearing at a later date.

The poll also shows that only 8 percent of American voters think illegal immigration is not a serious problem.

Things to keep in mind when the media frightens you with tales of the government brutalizing poor defenseless economic migrants. Don't be stampeded, the people stand with you while the lying media carries Pelosi-inspired "open borders" propaganda.
