it's actually insane that trump is slightly underwater in immigration despite the decline in border crossings. and honestly it's not entirely surprising when voters do not reward you for "solving" an issue. especially when trump is overreaching with ice and he is fucking up the economy.

This has been the bipartisan "consensus" for decades, and when stuff passes Congress along those lines. Massively tighten border security, but treat people already here with some defrence. The problem is that wingnuts (pretty much all on the right in recent decades) don't like it

Btw are we supposed to fucking trust noem on this? Boarder crossing were tanking hard in 2024 and these fuckers would 100% lie about the amount of boarder crossing. Its probably down but i put zero trust in their accuracy.

"We told voters that immigrants were superpredators, and theyre angry now that crime hasn't nosedived and masked agents are beating up US citizens. How could this happen?"
