Poll: Immigration a Problem, CRT Too

The Washington Examiner reports the results of a Harvard/Harris Poll which looked at public attitudes toward the border crisis and toward the teaching of critical race theory (CRT) in the public schools.

An overwhelming 80% said that illegal immigration is a serious issue and one that needs more attention than what President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris are giving. What’s more, 68% said that signals from Biden’s White House are encouraging illegal immigration, and 55% believe that former President Donald Trump’s border closing policies should have been left in place.

On schooling and education, another sleeper issue, 61% do not believe students should be taught that America is structurally racist and is dominated by white supremacy.

I begin to wonder if Whispering Joe might be a one-term disaster like Carter. He could do so poorly that Trump might get reelected, stranger things have happened. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
