Remember when all national polls said Kamala was popular? Yeah, that’s why it’s so hard to take seriously a new CNN one showing that a majority of Americans now supposedly say the Trump administration has “gone too far … when it comes to deporting immigrants living in the United States illegally.”
According to the poll, 52 percent of respondents agreed the president’s crackdown on deportations has been excessive (though in what sense, the poll doesn’t say). It’s a 7-point increase from when the question was asked in February.
I’m skeptical that even a quarter of Americans (as in, actual U.S. citizens, not just whoever picked up CNN’s phone call) have strong opinions one way or another about the alien removals from the country, but if even just one person is upset by it, they can take it up with Democrats. They’re the reason Trump has had to get creative in this whole process.
Let’s go back to 2016 when Donald Trump, a reality TV game show star, was elected against all odds to be the first genuine president of the United States to not have any political or military experience. And he did it in large part with a very simple slogan: “Build the wall.” Democrats said no and called Trump supporters racists.
The president tried making a deal anyway. A few billion dollars for walls along the southern border and in exchange he would agree to permanently legalize the “dreamers,” roughly 1 million younger illegal aliens given temporary protection by the Obama administration to stay in the U.S. Democrats said no and called Trump supporters racists.
When he tried keeping the obscene numbers of migrants pushing their way into the U.S. at bay with law enforcement, Democrats cried and accused the administration of kidnapping children. Then they called Trump supporters racists.
For four years, Democrats fought any and every attempt to remove illegal migrants or even just to stop them from entering at all. And then they got their own president in the White House.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris invited every destitute foreigner to America, fast-tracked their entry, and flooded cities with busloads of impoverished Haitians, Venezuelans, and Congolese. Importing the Third World was done with incredible efficiency, and only when the next presidential election was fast approaching did Democrats start pretending it was a problem.
They had no right to tell those people to flout American laws and take root in a place that they couldn’t be guaranteed to stay. But they did, and voters rendered their judgement on that in November, this time electing not a TV star to fix this broken country, but a convicted felon. That’s how dire the situation is.
The migration crisis that Democrats created was for sure an ugly mess. It sucks to be the person who has to clean it up, but if looking at that effort bothers you, remember who put us in this position.
