Swing-voting moderates are rallying to President Donald Trump as Democrats continue their desperate opposition to the enforcement of the nation’s popular immigration laws.

“The voters in the middle that we need to win on immigration are being turned off by the Democrats’ radicalism in attempting to stop the deportations of gang members, drug dealers, and human traffickers,” said a tweet from author Jeremy Carl. “Trump’s immigration policy [among reachable swing voters] is more popular than ever,” he added.

Democrats could have chosen a respected family man mistakenly deported. Instead, they chose a m- 13 wife abuser.

Voters realize DeMS-13 care more about illegal aliens than voters.
