Biden is losing on the immigration issue

 Jeff Charles:

...

A Harvard/Harris poll revealed that 80 percent of Americans believe that illegal immigration is a serious issue. Even further, respondents indicated that the problem deserves more attention than the Biden administration is giving it. As you already know, Harvard isn’t exactly a bastion for right-wing thought.

About 68 percent of respondents also indicated they believed the president is encouraging illegal immigration. Not too surprisingly, 55% stated they believe former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies should have remained intact.

According to pollster Mark Penn, “Immigration is boiling up as an issue.”

Penn also noted that Americans wish the Biden administration to take a tougher stance on the immigration issue. He wrote:

“Sixty-four percent of registered voters want the Biden administration to issue new, stricter policies to reduce the flow of people across the border. Only 7% of voters could accurately call out the amount of monthly illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S. with 84% underestimate the number, suggesting we should expect stronger voter reactions if the crisis evolves further. Overall, 74% of voters view the current surge in illegal immigrants as a crisis that needs to be addressed immediately, and 56% do not view climate change, racism, and sexism as root causes of migration from South and Central America.”


Even worse, the poll showed that 55 percent believed that Biden’s border policies are “increasing the flow of drugs,” into the country while 45 percent felt the president is “simply treating people more humanely.”

It is also worth noting that the survey revealed that the Biden administration’s attempt to convince the American public that the migrant crisis is Trump’s fault has failed miserably. The survey showed that 61 percent of respondents believed the flood of unaccompanied minors surging at the southern border was the fault of the Biden administration.

When it comes to spending, most Americans are not quite on board the “spend into oblivion” approach that so-called progressives are pushing. According to the poll, 60 percent of respondents believed that “the Biden administration should spend far less than $4 trillion dollars and reduce any increases in taxes and the deficit.” Only 40 percent indicated that the White House should spend $4 trillion.
...

Voters are rejecting the Biden-Harris narrative about the cause of the illegal migration and it is not even close.   The voters are much more clear-eyed about the problems than the administration.  It is my opinion that Biden has opened the borders to try to help the Democrats steal House seats by flooding certain areas of the country with illegals that are to be counted in the census.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
