1. Meaningless poll

Many that say it's good support Trump.

They support his anti immigration policies and say it's about going after criminals, not immigration.

Them, not me/us

2. I don't think that's true

My brother lives in a red state that went for Trump. This state has been economically devastated by his policies. People are changing their minds about him, and while they are not necessarily going democratic, they are certainly no longer Trumpers.

Once again we see backfiring. They are so ignorant about how they carry out these policies that they are achieving exactly the opposite of what they intended.

3. Of course it's true

If 79% say it's good, that's a massive chunk. Even in NYC, Democrats don't with with 79% of the vote. Many of those 79% ae certainly Trumpers.

Also, as unpopular as he his, his approval isn't anything close to 21%.

4. Our messaging re immigration needs to be much better to move this needle. We always have a "but" n

there. Or an “of course” we need to protect our borders yada yada yada. We should talk about immigration in a positive way and why our country is a place people long to come. And how we plan to handle immigration and what a positive immigration policy would look like. We shouldn’t use R words. We need our own.

5. As it should be. The amazing thing is how effective the lies have been to convince the public that

immigrants are thieves, rapists...and a drag on the economy when the opposite is true. All these years....
