“...I think one issue that binds Americans across party lines is their opposition to illegal immigration...”
That’s because the Rule of Law is the unspoken theme at the center of this article. Liberals/Progressives ignore it totally, and this is at their peril.
Once the Rule of Law breaks down no one is safe in public, at home, or in their person.
I suspect the majority of Libs don’t perceive this fact — they’re totally operating on emotion with this issue and the desire to hopefully acquire more Democratic voters.
They’re being used by that faction which wants to overturn and gut the U.S.A., then establish a communist government amid the chaos.
George Soros has a hell’uva lot of money wrapped up in this issue.
I think there is a distinction between the average American and the party and media elites.
I don’t know too many average Americans along the entire political spectrum who are pro-illegal and pro-amnesty. Only the hard core Marxists on the left support it and the profiteers on the right support it. They are in the minority, but they have a lot of money and power.
The reason why a comprehensive immigration reform or amnesty bill can’t get passed in Congress is because average Americans are opposed in vast numbers..
This is why you see the liberal media in full propaganda mode all the time trying to brainwash the American people into passing something that they know is not in their best interests.
Even my very liberal sisters are against illegal immigrants. They realize that they are only making it harder for the native born poor to get a chance for a better life.
