Poll shows strong support for Trump's policy against illegal immigration

Scott Rasmussen:

When President Donald Trump was asked to defend the use of tear gas, he said: "Here's the bottom line: Nobody's coming into our country unless they're coming legally." In other words, the president treated it like an issue of law and order. And, on that point, the president has solid backing in the court of public opinion. Eight out of 10 voters nationwide believe that illegal immigration is bad for America.

Despite all those troubling images, a poll conducted by ScottRasmussen.com and HarrisX two days after the incident found that just 25 percent of voters believe Border Patrol's actions are too harsh on illegal immigrants. A plurality (43 percent) believe that Border Patrol is too lenient.

The poll also found that Mexico's offer of asylum should be enough for migrants who are truly trying to escape from persecution. Since they have already been provided with a safe haven, just 38 percent of voters think the migrants should still be eligible for asylum in the United States.

The Democrats are on the wrong side of the voters on this issue and that is one of the reasons why they avoided talking about during the 2018 campaign.  The Democrats were also exposed for their hypocrisy on the use of tear gas to control mob action since it was also used routinely by the Obama administration on the border.
