81% of Americans are evil racists !!!

65% of Americans agree 100% with Trump  

A new poll released by Harvard-Harris shows that a staggering percentage of voters on all ends of the political spectrum are overwhelmingly in favor of an immigration deal that would end Chain Migration, eliminate the Visa Lottery, and grant amnesty to DACA recipients.

According to the poll, 65% of voters would support a DACA deal that secures the Southern border, ends Chain Migration, and eliminates the Visa Lottery. A majority of voters from nearly every demographic group would support the deal, including 68% of Hispanic voters, 64% of African American voters, 64% of Democratic voters, 67% of all independent voters, 63% of liberal voters, and 68% of those who voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election cycle.

The poll also reveals that 60 percent of voters oppose giving preference to parents who illegally brought their children to the U.S. The Durbin-Graham no-strings DACA amnesty offered in the Senate would give amnesty to the parents.

The poll found that 81% of voters want to reduce legal immigration from its current level of more than 1 million per year, and 63% want it cut by at least half.

So pretty much two thirds of Americans agree that Trump's immigration offer is a clear winner, and nearly that many Americans would like to see immigration cut "by at least half". This is pretty tough to take for the immigration happy Democrats, who seem to believe that anything short of open borders is akin to giving in to white supremacy. Moreover, they at least "act" as if they hold the majority position in the country. It's clear that the country is not immigration crazy, and that most believe things would be better if immigration is reduced.

I will be curious as to how Schumer and the Democrats continue to play this. There is little doubt that the President will reaffirm his desire (during his SOTU address tonight) to legalize the dreamers in exchange for ending chain migration, the Visa lottery, and putting more money into the southern border. That should go over pretty well with a population inclined to agree in full with this offer.

The "right" thing for Schumer and the Democrats to do is to take the deal. No doubt the deal with lose GOP support due to the fact that it allows for "amnesty". But if Trump can simply convince McConnell and Ryan to allow the vote, it likely passes in a highly bipartisan manner. Wouldn't that be something?

Of course, Schumer and the Democrats are not interested in doing what's right, or even what's popular. They are more inclined to cater to the screams and threats of their rabid base, many of whom would likely be willing to chew off their own fingers, rather than agree with Trump on anything.
