It never ceases to amaze me how the populist Right, or what speaks in its name, overestimates its strength both here and in Western Europe. One neednt be an enemy of these activists to recognize the exaggerated nature of their claims.
Those in the media who now demand a border wall insist that the people want this goal achieved immediately if not sooner.

We had the Florida voter rolls purged of dead voters
The bottom line is folks aren’t feeling enough pain yet.
It is literally going to take this country staring into the abyss before people wake up, and by then, it may be too late.
The author is using a poll from The Hill and such.
I question the credibility of anything he says.
The language he uses is to discourage and to deflate Americans.
I am an American and WE DONT play this crap.
