Trump Got Immigration Wrong

Trump’s approval rating on immigration has been falling for months. Trump ran on immigration. Trump thinks that he got elected because of immigration. Trump will tell anyone who will listen that he is doing what the American people want on immigration.

According to Rachel Maddow, Trump has gotten it all wrong.

Maddow said:

  Imagine if that's, that's like what Trump rallies and Republican rallies had been like, right? Hey, hey, vote for me. Vote for us. We'll bring back measles and AIDS. We are gonna legalize machine guns and we're also, you know what we're gonna do? We're gonna destroy the greatest universities in the world. We are gonna decimate cancer research America. You will never again have to worry about the bane of cancer research anymore.

Gonna get rid of that. We're ending that. I mean, imagine if they had run on these things, but of course they didn't. Trump didn't run on those things. What he ran on was in part. Promising to be really cruel to immigrants, right? The cruelty to immigrants. We can't say, they didn't warn us about it. Trump ran on that promise.

And I think that Trump thought, and all the people going into the Trump administration thought therefore that his cruelty to immigrants would be popular once he was in office, right? That the more people he and his agents arrested, the more cruel they were to people who are in this country who were not born here, the more the American people would like it and applaud for it and like him for doing it, it turns out they were really, really wrong about that.

That political calculation was incorrect. I mean, from the northeast in New England to the far southwest, to the Pacific Northwest, to Ohio, to Florida, to Arizona, to Texas, to Trump supporting rural Missouri, what they are doing in abusing immigrants.

They are arousing the ire of the American people with every single blundering step they take against these high school students and waitresses who they're trying to tell us are the real monsters that we all need to be saved from.

They got the politics absolutely wrong here. They got the heart of the American people absolutely wrong on this issue, and now politically everywhere they are going to pay for it.

Trump had one issue that he ran on, and he completely screwed it up.

Remember, Trump killed the bipartisan immigration bill that Biden negotiated, because immigration was “his” issue.

It’s his issue now, and he and his party own the backlash to his policies.
