Here's how you sabotage the President's immigration policy: Through radical push polls that lie to respondents, telling them that he's violating the constitution!
"poll: most Americans favor birthright citizenship"
"Americans overwhelmingly support keeping the constitution's guarantee of birthright citizenship amid growing public resistance to President Trump's immigration crackdown, according to a new survey that also measures attitudes across religions.
Why it matters: The survey released Tuesday by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) is the latest in a series of polls indicating the Trump administration's hardline immigration agenda is turning off many voters.
- The findings come as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is stepping up arrests and the Supreme Court has agreed to hear a challenge to Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship.
By the numbers: Two-thirds of Americans — including majorities of independents and many Republicans — support preserving the 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship to those born in the U.S., the survey found.
- Roughly 8 in 10 Black Protestants favor keeping birthright citizenship, and solid majorities of Hispanic Catholics and Hispanic Protestants support it as well.
- Even among Trump's most supportive religious constituency — white evangelical Protestants — 53% say the Constitution's guarantee should stand.
What they're saying: "Most Americans, including many conservatives and religious Americans, see birthright citizenship as a core constitutional promise," PRRI CEO Melissa Deckman told Axios.
- "Ending it is simply not something the public wants."
State of play: The Trump administration has sent ICE agents to Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, New Orleans and Minneapolis.
- As in other cities, some U.S. citizens have been swept up by federal agents, sparking angry protests.
Zoom in: Only 3 in 10 Americans back Trump's overall immigration agenda, while two-thirds oppose it, PRRI found.
- Approval of Trump's handling of immigration has fallen to 43%, down significantly among independents, seniors and younger voters since March.
- Even border-state residents — typically more supportive of immigration enforcement — have turned against Trump's crackdown, with approval dropping from 42% in March to 33% in September.
Yes, but: Nearly 3 in 4 white evangelical Protestants approve of Trump's work on immigration.
- They're the only major religious group without majority support for a path to citizenship or legal status for "Dreamers" — unauthorized immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children.
- About 57% of white evangelicals back arresting and detaining unauthorized immigrants with no criminal record, and 59% support keeping them in detention camps until they're deported.
The intrigue: Majorities across nearly all religious groups — except white evangelicals — now lack confidence in ICE, the poll found.
- Deckman said ICE agents' aggressive raids — smashing car windows, pulling people out — has shocked the conscience of many Americans, and that's showing in the poll numbers.
The bottom line: Trump's second-term immigration agenda is mobilizing his base — particularly white evangelicals and Christian nationalists — but alienating much of the rest of the country.
- With the Supreme Court now weighing the future of birthright citizenship, the nation's ideological and religious divide over immigration could be about to widen even further.
Methodology: The American Values Survey was conducted online Aug. 15-Sept. 8. The poll is based on a representative sample of 5,543 adults (age 18 and older) living in all 50 states and the District of Columbia who are part of Ipsos' Knowledge Panel®.
- The margin of sampling error is +/- 1.79 percentage points at the 95% confidence level, for results based on the entire sample.

Depends on who you ask. If the polling companies indulge in "profiling"--as ICE is always accused of doing by media--with spicano or somalis,they get a lopsided poll number. And I say,they do EXACTLY that--profile their respondents for maximum anti-Trump results

ReplyDeleteThe relentless omnipresent pity stories in the media about illegals and their sprogs crying about ICE and feeling "frightened" all the time have more impact than anything.
Yes,buzzwords,repeated over and over. "Frightened","fear" etc.
ReplyDeleteWhat about "murder","rape" and "drugs" --the media never mentions those. One mex fambilee in a neighborhood ruins the entire street--I saw it myself. I got the ones who lived near me evicted and literally saved the area about nine years ago.
THAT was community service by yours truly,which today,would be called something else by media

I know of several people who visited the US specifically to have a baby who would be a US citizen. Why should we allow that? And people who break our laws to come here are not likely to be parents of the kind of people we want as citizens--and VOTERS!
ReplyDeleteRight now we are being overwhelmed with Indians who get into companies and then only do what is good for Indians and India. The Indian head of Microsoft is investing $17.5 billion in India, firing 9,000 Americans and importing 6,000 H!B workers--no doubt from India. Make no mistake, these Indians don't want to be Americans--they keep their Indian names and think that they and their sick culture (caste system) is superior to American culture and values.
PRESIDENT TRUMP ORDERS U.S. FORCES TO SEIZE VENEZUELAN OIL TANKER
ReplyDeleteGRA:Don Rickles posted:"I bet blacks are saying--'sheeeet--and the PO-lice get mad when we just robs a gas station.' "
(ZH)President Trump confirmed to Bloomberg that U.S. forces intercepted and seized a tanker near Venezuela's coast, saying further information will be provided soon.
* *. *
Gunboat diplomacy was on full display Wednesday afternoon after Bloomberg reported that U.S. forces intercepted and seized a sanctioned Venezuelan oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. This move underscores the Trump administration's Monroe-2.0 posturing as Washington seeks to reassert control over the Western Hemisphere after years of neglect.
Bloomberg cited sources who did not disclose the tanker's name or the general area where U.S. military forces seized the vessel.
The move here is a foreign policy tactic known as gunboat diplomacy. It's where the U.S. military has stationed warships, jets, bombers, and troops that are to push the Maduro regime into complying with U.S. demands.
GRA:I can't think of a legitimate reason for such an undertaking . Gunboat diplomacy--right. What would transpire if Russia did that to one of our transport ships?
Whatever happened to near miss assassinations? Did they go out of style this year?

Remember, it's not about drugs, it's about oil and gay "marriage." And Grenell, specifically hired by Trump to promote LGBT-ism in foreign countries, just went there as an envoy. Supposedly to obtain release of Americans held in prison, but maybe for other undisclosed purpose.

Give Maduro one in the earlobe. He'll evacuate--the country and into his underwear.

If you recall, I described a TV episode which was about a truck driver helping an alien cross the border so she can have an "anchor baby" in the U.S.- this was circa 1962! The program was stupidly written and poorly directed, yet received overwhelming critical acclaim- it was the so-called "intelligentsia" that favored illegal entry, as they favored integration and a multitude of other sins. And the professional "critics" were always liberal, as was most of Hollywood by that time. Also heavily homosexual, probably much more than was ever exposed. Gays LOVE foreigners (as do a disproportionate number of women). As to the general public, I doubt they want it now any more than they did then. And they have no say in the matter, now or then.
