Quote:Voters across both party lines appear to be in agreement with President Donald Trump’s immigration priorities, a new Harvard-Harris Poll finds.

The poll, weighted to be broadly representative of the U.S. population, found that 65% of voters overall agreed with Trump’s position that any bill codifying Obama-era protections for illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children should be accompanied by funding for a wall, ending chain migration, and ending the diversity visa lottery program.

The individual elements of each of Trump’s demands remain broadly popular as well. On the most controversial subject of the border wall, 53 percent of respondents said they supported “building a combination of physical and electronic barriers across the US-Mexico border,” and 61 percent said current security along the US-Mexico border is inadequate.

79 percent of respondents said they believed “immigration priority for those coming to the U.S. should be based on a person’s ability to contribute to America as measured by their education and skills or based on a person having relatives in the US.” The statement is broadly representative of Trump’s bid to end chain migration via family ties and prioritize immigration policy that favors high skilled individuals.

The diversity visa lottery program saw a similar 68 percent disapproval by voters.

My question is (and shame on the GOP side for not posing this question to him), why aren't the dems in favor of 100% of a security solution? Why isn't that a no-brainer? WTF?!

And with brown and black people set to overtake white people in the not too distant future, what hope do you see for the Republican party?

The polls tend to underestimate Trump so maybe 90% of folks agree with him on immigration. Who knows

because all brown and black people vote the same... (that's absolutely racist)

I know tons of brown and black people that are republicans. People like jobs and low taxes...


You see you see brown and black fol as an abstract idea. Republicans see them as individuals. WE understand Hispanics come from many different locals and that someone with Cuban ancestry may see something much differently than someone with Mexican ancestry. WE understand that a person of Jamaican ancestry might have much different opinions than someone whose forefathers were forced here as a slave.

People are individuals Redwingtom...they don't share monolithic views simply because of the skin color. Look deeper Redwingtom. Grow a brain.
