Two of every three Americans want the federal government to block the caravans of migrant workers from Central America, says a Rasmussen Reports poll.
The opposition among likely voters is deep and broad — except among liberals and people who earn above $200,000 per year.
The poll asked: “Should the U.S. government stop all of the migrants in the Honduras caravan from entering, or should it allow them to enter this country temporarily until each of their cases can be individually reviewed?”
The sample of 880 likely voters opposed the entry of the migrants by 60 percent to 30 percent.
Conservatives oppose the entry by 82 percent to 13 percent, while “moderate” respondents oppose it by 55 percent to 34 percent.
But liberals overwhelmingly favored entry for the migrants, with 63 percent saying the government “should allow them to enter this country temporarily until each of their cases can be individually reviewed.”
Psychological studies show people who strongly oppose inequality tend to become liberals. In contrast, people who emphasize solidarity tend to become Republicans.
Just 24 percent of liberals aligned themselves with American workers by agreeing “the U.S. government should stop all of the migrants in the Honduras caravan from entering.”
The liberals’ welcome policy would spur further labor migration because catch and release policies allow migrants to get U.S. jobs, either legally or illegally. The migrants want and need to work hard to quickly repay the home country mortgages and loans that fund their coyote-guided “Hunger Games” trek past the murderous cartels.

Yeah, because it won’t hurt them.
So much for Jow being the POTUS of ALL the people as he screamed in his speech!!!
...just not in their neighborhoods.
Good. Because the illegals are getting closer every hour.
Their bags are packed with TB, Hep and most likely COVID too.
They call them migrants now?
They aren’t coming after their jobs. so it doesn’t matter if they are going to vote 80-20 in their favor.
As an owner of a painting company. I employ people, yes Mexicans, who can provide me a green card and submit to a background check.
Be wary of the paint companies who use subcontractors. The subs often will provide insurance to the employer when “ interviewing” but do not maintain that insurance. Therefore if a sub gets injured on your property YOU THE HOMEOWNER, may have a claim on your insurance. Always ask for the contractors and the sub insurance, if they cannot provide it kick them off the property immediately.
A lot of Mexicans have better work ethic than our traditional Americans but you do open yourself up to huge liability especially if they are illegals.
“just not in their neighborhoods.”
Exactly. Those higher-income people don’t think that they will ever be personally adversely affected by the influx of those Illegals. But, they do think they will benefit from them. Cheap cleaning, landscaping, car washing, food service, home building, etc...how this affects the rest of the population? They could not care less.
Trump won.
Vote fraud.
They want ROHDESIA..Where a few of them are in charge and everybody else is a slave...
Cheaper lawn trimmers and pool boys, ahoy!
Well, they’re pretty damned stupid.
The sample of 880 likely suckers who think their votes will count
You would think those Mexicans would be the most against illegals since it cuts into their wages.
I’m in favor of foreign exchange. We give Central America a liberal for every poor migrant we bring in from Central America.
Fine. Let the wealthy provide food, housing, gas vouchers, free cell phones and internet and free medical care for them all.
Let them put THEIR money where their mouths are!
They already do by paying the vast majority of taxes. It is the poor who are not carrying their load and why conservatives who are wealthy want the gravy train cut off. I am in the 1% of earners and am sick of paying for everyone else.
Is this any surprise.
The liberals want no border and are social justice warriors and the over 200k want the cheap labor this wetback scum brings
