That being said, I firmly believe that supporting EVerify and calling for invader labor to be sent home is what wins elections. I'm not doubting that McDaniels is for EVerify, just wondering if he made it a big enough issue.
Actually, in rural states that depend on migrant labor, it is not really a winner. Now, let me hasten to add that the GOPe position on amnesty doesn't win either - but just like Ellmers winning big in NC, and Walter Jones almost losing - Graham doing well in SC - and some others, perhaps Mississippi, the deport them all now stance does NOT win. People are not going to vote themselves into bankruptcy. I know, no one wants to admit it though.
As for e verify, I think everyone is in favor of that- but you have to be a fool to assume it is going to be the single federal government program that runs well. It won't be. It will have problems for years.
