On Friday, Americans learned that illegal crossings along the U.S. southern border reached an all-time high in December 2023, with a whopping 249,785 arrests. That number is up 31 percent from the December 2022 total of 222,018, also an all-time high. Those arrests are crossings we know about. The actual number of people who have no business being in the United States is undoubtedly much higher. But in an election year, the fact that liberalism is all about emotions and how you feel versus what is best for the country is on full display. The results of a new poll are bearing that out.
The online poll conducted by CRC Research for The 85 Fund asked 1,600 registered voters from January 3-7 if they “would be more or less likely to support a candidate who…Says that immigration is healthy for the U.S. and we should keep our borders open to fill jobs many Americans do not want to do.” Of the respondents who said they were Democrats, 55 percent said they would support those candidates, just 36 percent said they would be less likely. It is an answer that should get the attention of every Republican voter. Of those who said they were Republicans, 78 percent said they would not support those candidates, and 18 percent said they would.
