CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE THEM WORKING AS HARD FOR MIDDLE AMERICA AS THEY DO THEIR ILLEGALS???
Analysis by Steven Kopits of Princeton Policy Advisors estimates that the Biden administration will drive nearly 1.7 million illegal aliens to the U.S.-Mexico border by the end of 2021 — making it the worst year for illegal immigration in American history.
NRCC Poll: Democrats Face Hurdles over Inflation, Crime, and the Border in Battleground Districts
Democrats are facing serious hurdles among key Battleground Congressional District voters on issues related to inflation, crime, and border security, a National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) poll released Thursday found.
The NRCC poll identified three key issues Democrats face among battleground Congressional district voters. The first is inflation, as voters put more trust in Republicans to deal with economic issues, such as rising prices, than Democrats.
Overall, 70 percent are either extremely or very concerned about rising prices and the higher cost of living, and a majority, 60 percent, disapprove of Biden’s handling of it. Coinciding with that is 23 percent blaming the economic situation on President Joe Biden and 19 percent attributing it to Democrats in Congress — both topping the list.
Per the memo, “voters are four times as likely to blame the President and Congressional Democrats (combined 42%) than they are Congressional Republicans (10%),” and overall, voters trust Republicans to handle the economic crisis more than Democrats, 44 percent to 40 percent.
“The Republican advantage on jobs and the economy grows to +12 among voters in ticket-splitting districts (52% GOP – 40% DEM),” per the memo.
The survey also showed rising concern over crime rates in the United States, as voters express doubt on the left’s ability to handle it. Seventy-three percent of battleground district voters say the country’s crime rate has increased, and voters in these districts trust Republicans to handle issues surrounding crime and safety by a three-point margin — 45 percent to 42 percent:
These numbers are even more pronounced in the 16 districts that voted for different parties for President and Congress (either Biden/Republican or Trump/Democratic districts). Fully 79% of voters in these districts say the country’s crime rate has increased and 53% say their community’s crime rate has too. And, by a nine-point margin, these voters also believe Republicans in Congress are better able to deal with this issue than Democrats (49% GOP — 40% DEM).
Finally, the survey showed battleground voters identifying the border crisis as a “major” area of concern, falling second only to the economy/jobs in terms of what voters believe D.C. politicians should focus on.
Biden’s approval rating on the border crisis is under water. A majority, 55 percent disapprove, compared to 38 percent who approve. Of the 55 percent of those who disapprove, 43 percent “strongly” disapprove. Notably, “both Independents and Hispanics disapprove of President Biden’s handling of the border crisis by a 23-point margin (Independents: 32% approve — 55% disapprove / Hispanics: 36% approve — 59% disapprove),” per the memo, which also found that voters in these districts, overall, disapprove of Biden’s handling by a 20 point margin — 57 percent to 37 percent.
Once again, voters in these districts believe Republicans are better equipped to deal with border security issues, 49 percent to the Democrats’ 39 percent.
“Even more telling is the finding that voters in the battleground districts represented by Democratic Members of Congress still trust Republicans more on this issue (48% GOP — 39% DEM),” the memo found.
“President Biden and congressional Democrats’ failure to address the rising cost of everyday goods, a spike in violent crime, and a growing border crisis has left them extremely vulnerable,” NRCC spokesman Mike Berg concluded.
The survey was taken July 8-15, 2021, among 1,000 voters across 85 battleground Congressional districts.
Kamala Harris Meets with ‘DREAMer’ Illegal Immigrants: ‘This Is Your Home’
Vice President Kamala Harris met with a group of illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children at the White House on Thursday, promising to fight for amnesty for them.
“I want to make clear to the DREAMers that are here, and to those who are watching from home,” she said, signaling emotion. “This is your home, this is your home, and we see you and you are not alone.”
Harris noted that many illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children were people who worked jobs in Fortune 500 companies, the health care industry, served in the military, and even were going to college.
“Many have been living recently, these years, a life of uncertainty even though this is the only country they have ever known,” she said. “They deserve a pathway to citizenship.”
Harris brought up the ruling by a federal judge last week that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, first enacted by former President Barack Obama, was unconstitutional.
The ruling shuts down any new applicants to the program, despite President Joe Biden’s support for the program.
The vice president registered her disappointment with the ruling.
“The president and I, needless to say … we are unequivocal that we recognize you for the Americans that you are and that we recognize that you deserve all the rights that come with American citizenship,” Harris said to the group of activists.
Harris reminded current DACA recipients that they were currently safe despite the ruling, but that the Justice Department would appeal the decision.
She said the Department of Homeland Security would also create new enforcement rules to handle DACA illegals.
Harris expressed her frustration with the multiple legal challenges to the DACA program.
“The status quo of young immigrants living with uncertainty between one case to another is just simply wrong,” she said, adding that the illegal immigrants were living in fear of every “knock at the door.”
She again called for amnesty for illegal immigrants, promising to push Congress to make progress on the issue.
“We will not give up in this fight,” she said.
Harris also made a moral argument about giving illegal immigrants amnesty, noting that Americans should reward their “self-determination.”
“This is about saying that we want to ensure that all people have the ability to determine their own future,” she said.
