Is this really true? Isn't it all too common these days that anyone calling for reduced immigration is labeled as mean, uncaring, indifferent, or worse?
No. And apparently not according to a growing number of Independent voters who, in addition to moving away from high cost, high crime and overly congested cities
"...do not embrace a MAGA-driven Republican Party, but they also do not trust Mr. Biden and Democrats, and consider them to be culturally extreme big spenders who aren't focused enough on issues like immigration and crime."
While views can vary among moderate left and moderate right leaning voters on what immigration "reform" should look like in policy and enforcement, there appears to be an emerging consensus that embraces the notion that a sensible level of annual immigration is necessary and practical as fundamentally sound public policy.
David Brooks notes incentives for more moderate voters to relocate to some key battleground red states for a higher quality of life, the result of which has become a sort of "red-blue mashup that [for now at least] seems to work."
"The 2022 exit polls showed that over 30 percent of voters were independents, the highest percentage since 1980." "In Arizona, 40 percent of voters in 2022 considered themselves political independents." - Doug Sosnik, New York Times, April 17, 2023
These voters who, when asked about specific levels of immigration, will say time and again they want far less than the millions of both legal and illegal numbers coming by the hundreds of thousands monthly and millions yearly in reality.
So what does this mean? It means that we should take heart that the majority of average middle class America still holds sensible views on immigration; that their desire for less immigration is not based on bigotry, nor on open borders. American voters, regardless of party affiliation or none, want much less immigration than the current reality of 2.1 million total encounters for fiscal year 2023 and 1.3 million known got-aways!
We the People do not want and did not vote for:
Right now please take action in support of what Americans really want by going to your action board to tell your representatives to move forward and bring House Border Security and Enforcement Act 2023 (H.R. 2460) to the floor for a vote!
This bill passed markup in the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday night. It fulfills many of the promises made by Republicans last year in the Commitment to America, not the least of which is mandatory E-Verify!
Thank you for joining me in taking every action on our action boards.
Thank you for the generous donations you give that fund all we do on the Hill and in the states to push for mandatory E-Verify and our other 5 great solutions
In solidarity,
