"Government immigration restrictions are how tyranny will come to modern America."

Alex was on the negative side.

He began by arguing that government immigration restrictions are how tyranny will come to America.

As he says below, "I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

    Harry Enten analyses the polling:

    No group has become more hawkish on immigration & shifted to the GOP than immigrants.
    Immigrant voters
    -Trust more on immigration in 2020: Dem +32 pt to Now: GOP +8 pt
    -Net fav of immigrants here illegally: +23 pt in ’20, -6 pt in ’24
    -Trump’s vote: 36% in ’16 to 47% in ’24!

    It's one of the reasons why Trump has gone from -21 on this issue in 2017 to +1 now.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
