With all the noise about events at the border, CBS conducted a poll of American voters to seek out their opinions about how to handle families that illegally cross the border. The poll offered four choices how to deal with families caught entering illegally: 1. deport the whole group immediately; 2. arrest the parents and keep the kids in a separate facility; 3. arrest the parents and keep the entire family in detention until after their case is decided; or 4. schedule a hearing for the family and then release them on their promise to return for that hearing. Which one of these alternatives do you think got the most support? Remember choice 4 is the old Obama "catch and release" policy. After the recent executive order, choice 3 is what the government is now doing.
The answer is that half of all respondents chose choice 1; they want the entire family deported immediately. Only 1 in 5 chose the catch and release policy (choice 4). That means a large majority chose the current government policy or something more drastic.
You have to wonder if the Democrats don't understand just how unpopular their immigration stand really is. Americans do NOT favor illegal aliens over American citizens. Every time the Democrats make clear that the party DOES favor illegal aliens over American citizens, they lose votes.
Personally, I hope the Dems keep this up until November.
