I got a kick out of an article in USA Today in which pollster Stanley Greenberg "reports" that Americans have rejected the "anti-immigration" position espoused by President Trump. Greenberg says that Americans embrace immigration as something good for our country.
The article is an amazingly dishonest bit of reporting. I've watched and read and listened for the last four years during which Donald Trump has been active on the political scene. Trump has never been anti-immigrant. Indeed, he's been very clear. Trump favors legal immigration under a more workable legal system than our present mess. Trump only opposes ILLEGAL aliens. He wants immigrants to come to the USA, but to do so in accordance with American law. Sure, Democrats have tried to portray the GOP and Trump positions as being against immigration, but that's just plain nonsense.
The poll results that Greenberg discusses are ones that ask about the contributions of immigrants. That would include basically the ancestors of nearly every American. The polls, however, did not ask about ILLEGAL immigration, only about immigrants in general.
Personally, I'm tired of watching the media, even second rate media like USA Today, lie about the President's positions and then to attack him for the false position they created.
