Trump’s harsh immigration tactics are taking a political hit as new polls show a majority of Americans feel federal agents have “gone too far” in enforcing immigration laws.
It’s not just Democrats who are concerned, but also independent voters who are expected to play a major role in the upcoming midterm elections.
“The base loves it, but it’s an issue for the independent voters who decide elections in this country,” said Alex Conant, a veteran Republican strategist. “Independents want a strong border and they want to deport criminals, but they’re really uneasy with having masked federal agents going around in neighborhoods, deporting anyone that they see — as the Democrats are portraying it.”
After months of aggressive enforcement, Trump’s signature issue that twice got him elected is now turning into a liability ahead of this year’s midterm elections.
I really hate that masked men murdering innocent people in the streets is referred to as “harsh immigration tactics”.
Its not even an immigration force anymore. They are a literal equivalent to the gestapo. The talk of them hanging around ballots during the midterms specifically in democratic districts is a prime example of this.
Seriously, the wording of most American journalists sounds mentally ill. Even the ones not on the payroll of the Epstein class skirt around objective reality.
“Harsh”? Trampling over the 4th Amendment to kidnap and torture innocent people without a trial is pretty harsh.
Fuck NPR. I didn’t cry a single tear when Donald ripped up their and PBS’ budget. They’ve been captured by fascists for decades. Their soft-peddling the Global Financial Crisis was prime fuckery.
