The leftist media establishment threw in every propaganda tool they have, from heart-rending videos of children of color behind chain link fences to abundant tears: crying children and MSNBC hosts Lawrence O’Donnell and Rachel Maddow weeping on air.

If only there had been puppies being tortured on the border, those images surely would have been used, pulling out all the stops for visual emotional manipulation.



And yet the Rasmussen poll yesterday showed:

Quote
When families are arrested and separated after attempting to enter the United States illegally, 54% of Likely U.S. Voters say the parents are more to blame for breaking the law. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that only 35% believe the federal government is more to blame for enforcing the law. Eleven percent (11%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

To help understand the current political debate over the children issue, a closer look shows that 82% of Republicans and 56% of voters not affiliated with either major political party feel the parents are more to blame for breaking the law. But 60% of Democrats say the government is more to blame for enforcing the law.

They better hope it's this transient issue, since Rasmussen once had his approval at 50 and now it's 46.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Despite President Trump signing an executive order allowing adults to be detained with children after crossing into the United States illegally, the outrage over his administration simply enforcing the law continues.

But according to a new poll from Rasmussen Reports, the majority of voters are holding illegal aliens accountable for the current separation crisis, not Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement or President Trump (bolding is mine).

This.... will only cause the radical left to drill down and try harder.  It's how they roll.

Oh, I'm sure in the short-term it took a hit.  But we've seen this time and time again, as the truth overcomes the media narrative, it bounces right back.

People aren't as gullible as they used to be, and there are too many news sources out there for the MSM to get away with it.

Oh, my...it's so distressing... do we credit Ted Cruz for saving his bacon, or attack him for backing down!  Now that the numbers are out, which way does it go!?

But forth a bill that would have increased enforcement and gotten the kids back with parents by increasing the rate of deportation.

I will say Ted is about the only keeper in Congress, if every other Republican is booted, I wouldn't shed a tear.

Yes, I wasn't sure about that bill at first, but having read it, and having watched what went on, it was the best thing to do.  Better than an EO that walks back enforcement.

Ted needs to convince his Senate colleagues.

For the record, other Senators including Cornyn are drafting a bill as well. We will see if any of them come to fruition.

@Sanguine

I repeat, I wouldn't put anything by the Cruz sycophants. You can make whatever you want out of that and what those words say. Go compliment cussers or people who call others names. You haven't been nice to me 2 years running and I don't expect any special treatment. I am what I am.

Yeah, I think we know what you are. 

You apparently don't remember all the times I have been nice to you.  I do wonder now why I did so.  I guess I am what I am.

Don't ping me or mention me again.

Considering the way @Sanguine posted a nice summary of it soon after release, I think it would be unwise to assume she didn't read it.  Your post reflects poorly on you.

Every time I get a contact or email from a lib about this stinking issue, I ask if they want to play a game of Name the POTUS, and ask who instigated this event......
