Rasmussen Poll Shows Media blitz on border children separations appears to have failed
American Thinker ^ | 06/22/2018 | Thomas Lifson

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:

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.

Seventy-five percent (75%) of Democrats think the Trump administration is too aggressive in trying to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States, a view shared by only 23% of Republicans and a plurality (46%) of unaffiliated voters.

Among all voters, 49% say the administration is too aggressive trying to stop illegal immigration. Twenty-five percent (25%) say it’s not aggressive enough, while 21% view the administration’s policies as about right.

Flashback: What Obama (2005) and Schumer (2009) Said About Illegal Immigrants

The hypocrisy of the Democrat party.


By Jerry McTexas/Editor-in-Chief

- September 10, 2017

Liberals can say what they want about Trump, but for the most part, he has the same views today as he had decades ago, which is far more than we can say about the leaders of their party.

For example, back in 2005, then Senator Barack Obama had much different opinion about illegals, stating, “We are a generous and welcoming people here in the United States, but those who enter the country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law and they are showing disregard for those who are following the law.”

He further stated, “We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants in this country.”

I can hear liberals now, saying there is no way their fearless leader every said something like that! After all, he is the one that put DACA on the books. Only problem is, there is video proof he actually said it…

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t recall anyone ever calling Obama a racist after he made that statement.

And Chuck Schumer is no better. During a conference in 2009, Schumer was adamantly against illegal immigrants.

At the 6th Annual Immigration Law and Policy Conference, he stated, “People who enter the United States without our permission are illegal aliens and illegal aliens should not be treated the same as people who entered the U.S. legally.”

He further stated, “When we use phrases like undocumented workers, we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combatting illegal immigration, which the American people overwhelmingly oppose.”

Once again, we have a Democrat that has absolutely shredded Trump over his immigration policies, yet he once had that very same hardline stance.

Furthermore, he even made note that the majority of Americans wanted the illegal immigration issue fixed in this country.

Today, though, he suddenly claims the overwhelming majority of Americans want to open our borders and let everyone in the country.

So why the change by both Obama and Schumer? One word: votes. Actually, two words: votes and Trump.

Those two videos explain everything you need to know as to why Americans cannot trust or believe a word out of establishment politicians.

They simply go with the flow and feelings of the moment. If it will get them votes in an election, they will sell their own mother down the line.

We need to get this to go viral today to prove to the entire country how hypocritical two of the most powerful Democrats in this country really are. Please share this story on Facebook and spread the word.

“Seventy-five percent (75%) of Democrats think the Trump administration is too aggressive”

Implying 25% do not. That’s a nice quantity of potential swing voters.

Trump tweeted. "Dems are just playing games, have no intention of doing anything to solves this decades old problem. We can pass great legislation after the Red Wave!"

“Democrats”...... are not about love of country or preserving democracy. They are rank opportunists———and self-promoters.

Their evil eyes are always scopeing out the next opportunity to make themselves look good, no matter the damage done to the country.

They look like savage pit bulls with a child’s head in their gaping jaws....and they wont let go until all the damage that can be inflicted is done.

Not to worry.

The purveyors of fake news will start a new “outrage” campaign soon.

Everything from globalist corporate media these days is wag-the-dog, and everybody knows it.

When Hillary Clinton was gearing up for a presidential run, she argued children of illegal immigrants aren’t entitled to stay in the United States.

“Should they [children] be able to stay here? It’s safer,” CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour asked during a 2014 interview.

“It may be safer, but that’s not the answer,” Clinton said. “We need to provide more border security in southern Mexico. They should be sent back as soon as it can be determined who the responsible adults in their families are. All of them who can be should be reunited with their families,” she continued. “We have to send a clear message: just because your child gets across the border, doesn’t mean your child gets to stay. We don’t want to send a message that is contrary to our laws or that will encourage more children to make that dangerous journey.”

President Obama made the same argument then that President Donald Trump has been making about the problems with current immigration law. “Do not send your children to the border,” Obama said. “The problem is that under current law, once those kids come across the border, there is a system in which we’re supposed to process them, take care of them until we can send them back.”

I saw the footage of Maddows fake tears and rage. There’s better acting in a pre school play.

Yep. 0bama is feeling a bit rushed to get out the next new theme, but should have it all polished up by the end of the weekend. Expect the Sunday morning shows to try a last swipe at POTUS over the poor immigrant children, but I think it will die before Monday.

Rachel Maddow crying...ya gotta be killing me. She does not have the slightest idea what a child needs or does not need.

Of course the Democrat Party Scum & Vermin and their lock-step Media low life, fake news bozos failed to lay on glove on DJT. Witness the massively successful Trump political rally in “Democrat Blue State” Minnesota last Wednesday (10,000 attendees in the arena & thousands more outside).

And...Trumpie heads for South Carolina on Monday to campaign, and holds another massive political rally in Fargo, North Dakota next Wednesday. Folks...it is going to be a huge successful Republican, “Red November”!!!

On Twitter, to these immigrant hustlers I have been saying: “If you hate America, and want to give it away, get the hell out”.

Yes, but like Hillary, he “evolved”.

“Evolved” AKA, I’ll hide what I really believe for now and then show my REAL beliefs after I win the elections.
