The liberal media is creating a make-believe version of Democratic nominees Kamala Harris and Tim Walz that bears no resemblance to reality
Immigration is one of the biggest issues in the 2024 election. It’s also the issue that Democrats have been most clearly losing.
The American people oppose open borders and massive illegal immigration. They don’t want their tax dollars used to subsidize and reward people who cross the border illegally. And Americans overwhelmingly oppose allowing illegal immigrants to vote.
The left’s philosophy and performance on immigration are so bad – and so counter to what most Americans want – the issue could be decisive in defeating the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket.
Since the propaganda media is desperate to defeat President Donald Trump, there is now a concerted effort to present the Harris-Walz ticket as new and moderate. The media is creating a fantasy version of the candidates which bears no resemblance to reality. Democrats and the media hope the illusion holds up at least through November.
As vice president, Harris presided over open borders, massive illegal immigration, and minimal border enforcement. Meanwhile, 70 percent of Americans favor declaring a state of emergency at the border – and deploying FEMA and National Guard personnel to border communities to deal with the border crisis (only 19 percent oppose this).
This means the real Harris-Walz position on the border faces a 4:1 minority among Americans. This unpopularity is the reason why Democrats and the media are creating the fantasy Harris-Walz ticket. For the next three months, you can expect to watch them take positions which are the exact opposite of their records.
However, their records will remain clear.
Walz is the perfect open border, pro-illegal immigrant vice presidential candidate. As governor, he signed bills providing free college education and health care to illegal immigrants. He also allowed illegal immigrants to get drivers’ licenses (which could enable them to vote).
According to Rasmussen, 75 percent of Americans would eliminate all government payments to illegal immigrants. Only 17 percent opposed this idea.
The Democrats’ strong opposition to voter identification requirements may be one of the greatest gaps between the left and the American people.
By 77% to 18% (again, 4:1), Americans oppose illegal immigrants voting. Even more decisively, 85 percent of Americans favor requiring all voters to show a photo ID before voting.
In virtually every aspect, Americans strongly oppose the pro-illegal immigration values of the Harris-Walz ticket.
Americans also express deep dissatisfaction with the reality that millions of illegal immigrants – including thousands of criminals and an unknown number of terrorists – have entered the United States during the Joe Biden-Harris administration.
