Immigration Surges to Top of Most Important Problem List (Gallup Poll)
Gallup ^ | 7/18/2018 | Frank Newport

Posted on 07/19/2018 9:58:43 AM PDT by RightGeek

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Immigration has risen to the top of the list when Americans are asked to name the most important problem facing the nation -- edging out the government, which has been the top issue each month since January 2017. The 22% of Americans in July who say immigration is the top problem is up from 14% in June and is the highest percentage naming that issue in Gallup's history of asking the "most important problem" question. The previous high had been 19%.

...

Of course, partisan groups almost certainly have differing reasons for viewing immigration as the top problem currently. Republicans are likely thinking of the underlying problem of illegal immigration per se and its impact on the nation's economy and crime situation, while Democrats may be thinking more about the negative impact of the Trump administration's policies and actions in cracking down on immigration.

Yadda yadda, but if you dig through the details of the survey at https://news.gallup.com/poll/237392/satisfaction-important-problem-trends.aspx?g_source=link_newsv9&g_campaign=item_237389&g_medium=copy you will find that not even 1% cares about Russia.

Democrats are convinced citizens are worried that not enough illegal immigrants are being allowed across the border.

Others were worried about the Ruskies too:-) Four days before U.S. and Russian leaders met in Helsinki, hackers from China launched a wave of brute-force attacks on internet-connected devices in Finland, seeking to gain control of gear that could collect audio or visual intelligence, a new report says.

Note the line on gun control. It peaks when we have an incident and then drops off the radar within weeks.

Bad news for the Rats and the GOPe. Build the F’n wall, stop chain migration, anchor babies, the lottery and require merit based immigration. With both houses ant the POTUS you’d think we could get it.

The Jarrod Ramos shooting at the Capital Gazette was buried within 12 hours, as soon as the MSM-Democrats found out the story didn't advance their agenda.

Mueller was just practicing his manipulation of the news cycle by indicting a handful of Russians just prior to the Trump / Putin summit. His election meddling will be on full display much closer to November.

Whether “collusion” or other legal entaglements, it doesn’t have to be registering in the polls if the timing gets the issue into the current news cycle when voters are pulling the levers.

That’s why I think President Trump should have a “put up or shut up” publicized interview with Mueller by September in order to get Mueller out of the catbird seat.

Great news. Either you support borders or you support the Democrats plan of either abolishing ICE or re-purposing them as sherpas for illegal aliens.

The House and Senate is Dem and RINO territory! So no, they will not truly work with Trump. Why do you think the Tax cuts are permanent for their owners but temporary for the citizenry:-)

The Dems and the GOPe used to block any negative items about immigration. Illegal aliens were called undocumented workers who lived in the shadows. They contributed mightily to our well-being economically and they enriched our culture thru diversity. They did work Americans didn't want to do and now they also do jobs Americans can't do.

Trump has now revealed the many crimes that illegal aliens perpetrate and that the majority of them use at least one major welfare program. For the first time, Americans are being made aware by a US President of the American victims of these crimes. And illegal aliens are taking jobs from Americans and depressing wages.

Is it any wonder why Americans are now concerned about illegal aliens? Trump is using his bully pulpit to inform Americans about our failed immigration system. It needs to be changed. And our borders must be secured.
