Kirstjen Nielsen resigned – Hit the Immigration Issue Hard, Mr. President

RUSH: So Kirstjen Nielsen is out. You know, folks, my impression of her was that she was loyal and that she was tough and that she was out there begging for support. And so I was one, I don’t know of how many, that was surprised when I found out she was leaving.

It’s really instructive to see how she is being blamed by the Democrats, instead of Trump. She’s become the whipping girl instead of Trump. According to the Democrats and the media, which of course are one and the same, she is a horrible person for allowing Trump to put children in cages, which Trump did not do.

So this is the first administration, the Trump administration’s actually the first one to come along to actually respond to public pressure on this. There’s new polling data out from Rasmussen. Sixty-seven percent of the American people are totally opposed to what we’re doing on immigration, and they want it fixed. And nobody in Washington is listening to them, Republican or Democrat, except Trump and the very few supporters on this issue that he has.

Let’s go to the polling data on this. Rasmussen Reports: “For Voters, Illegal Immigration Remains Big Problem, But Not for Democrats.” That’s the headline. By the way, a reminder here, if you watch CNN or MSNBC, read the New York Times or Washington Post, you will not know what’s going on in the real world. Now, this is important to note.

Voters by a wide margin expect borders to be respected and enforced. The Democrats don’t care who is coming across the border. Cartel members, human beings being trafficked, murderers, rapists, purse snatchers, it doesn’t matter to them, as long as they keep coming. That’s collateral damage in the war on American values, and that’s exactly what we are in the midst of, folks.

Here the details of the polls. “Voters continue to view illegal immigration as a serious problem but don’t think Democrats want to stop it.” You know what the number is? 67%! This is an incredible number. “Voters continue to view illegal immigration as a serious problem but don’t think Democrats want to stop it. Cutting foreign aid is one tool voters are willing to consider.

“A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 67% of all Likely U.S. Voters think illegal immigration is a serious problem in America today, with 47% who say it’s a very serious one.”
