- Release the entire family back to their home country together: 48%
- Release the entire family in the U.S. temporarily and require that they report back for a hearing later: 21%
- Arrest the parents but keep the children with them in the same detention facility: 11%
- Arrest the parents and keep the children in a separate detention facility: 4%
- Not sure: 16%
So a strong plurality (and a majority of those with an opinion) believe that the correct solution is to simply send these families back to their home countries. Ironically this is the suggestion that the President keeps making, and that Democrats keep criticizing him for. Overall, nearly two thirds wants to either deport them immediately or arrest and detain them.
On the flip side, only 21% of Americans agree with the former policy of the Obama administration, which was to release these illegals into the country, and ask them (pretty please with sugar on top) to report back for a hearing.
The Democrats and the liberal media simply don't get it. No matter how hard they attempt to "manufacture" support for liberal policies at the border, the American public is not buying it. This faux outrage over the detention center situation is only bringing the problems at our border back into the spotlight (which is exactly where Trump and the GOP want them to be).
Even Andrew Sullivan is throwing in the towel and admitting that it's time for the Democrats to give Trump the wall he campaigned on. According to this recent poll, the previously unpopular wall now is favored by 51% of Americans. This rise in popularity has no doubt been prompted by all of the attention being given to the problems at the border. The more these problems are exposed, the more people will want to fix them. The large plurality believe that involves reducing the amount of people trying to cross, and sending a strong message to those who actually make it across illegally.
Democrats and their allies in the media have outfoxed themselves once again. It continues to be very fun to watch this over and over.

Ryan ad S. Scott and many other Republicans have become the president’s poodles, not because James Madison’s system has failed but because today’s abject careerists have failed to be worthy of it. As explained in Federalist 51: “Ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place.” Congressional Republicans (congressional Democrats are equally supine toward Democratic presidents) have no higher ambition than to placate this president. By leaving dormant the powers inherent in their institution, they vitiate the Constitution’s vital principle: the separation of powers.
Separation of powers is my largest concern with Trump.

He's flirting with impeachment"
God damn Rog, you give us endless fucking Entertainment.
Roger, specifically, what right under the US Constitution has been taken away By Your President Donald Trump.
Section 2
The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;--to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;--to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;--to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;-- to Controversies between two or more States;--between a State and Citizens of another State;--between Citizens of different States;--between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.
His decisions are ruining America. He enjoys dividing the country because his base loves it.
President Trump Winning has ruined the Obama legecy.
Mueller Exits Witch Hunt.
Cool.
"We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently and lawfully to become immigrants in this country," Obama had said.
So Maxine orders more public harassment of trump officials. I think Republicans should do precisely that to her. See how she likes it.

a little over one year ago a sanders campaign volunteer opened fire on republicans.
i would expect a repeat performance in the very near future.
max scene has essentially incited violence and called for a riot against the right. this will not end well.

really. yet you gave captain pen and phone's nutsack a daily tongue bath.
He enjoys dividing the country because his base loves it.
you have it exactly backwards, alky. thanks to the bang up job 0linsky did of dividing the country along class and racial lines with the constant drum beat of identity politics, americans decided upon a rather unconventional approach to fix what skeets broke.
and this is how you got trump.
want more trump? tell max scene to keep running her mouth. tell your liberal friends to keep harassing trump officials.
so far you assholes have gotten away with your boorish and childish behavior, but there will come a time when our side will say "enough" and all hell is going to break loose.
The Civil war that obama wanted has not worked. We conservatives continue to travel the high ground. Even after one of ours was shot while playing baseball.
I pray that Barron is not kidnapped and homosexually raped by the Democrats.
In November we are going to have a better idea which way this country is going. I believe the Democrats are making a big mistake nationalizing the election over illegal immigration and open borders.
Just in. A new Gallup poll has Trump’s approval at 45%, about the same as Obama’s approval at the same time into his term.
A new Gallup poll has Trump’s approval at 45%
and the generic mid-term polling has dems with a paltry 4 point lead.
A month from now there will be a new manufactured news story that Donald Trump is savage, represents an existential danger, or is unhinged. We will hear of another Trump official cornered and driven out from a liberal-owned Beltway or New York City restaurant. An unhinged Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) will rant some more about impeachment.
And then the current hysteria over the border detainments will be filed, and go the way of the “s—hole countries” frenzy or Melania’s jacket melodrama.
We’ve already been through the dizzying odyssey of legal suits in three states over supposedly fraudulent voting machines, the nullification of the Electoral College effort, the meltdown on Inauguration Day, the Emoluments Clause tizzy, the 25th Amendment con, the various Russian collusion hysterias, the leaked phone call to the Australian prime minister, the Michael Wolff Fire and Furyfantasies, the Dudley Do-Right James Comey pre-indictment book tour, and all the surreal assassination chic stories, from Kathy Griffin’s beheading photo to the Shakespearean troupe’s ritual stabbing of Trump.
VDH nails the insane left
Alky, your wave is Strong right.
Trump won on US Borders your now going to win on Open Borders?
Cali, excellent article.
The Lost Years further erased.
