You have the Mayor putting up people in fancy hotels — upwards of $700 a night — costing the taxpayers $300 million. You have our governor providing free health care to illegal immigrants when you have senior citizens who are struggling to pay for their Medicare. You have payouts — $2 billion in stimulus checks [to illegal migrants, but] when you have a single mother who has three children [and is] earning $9,000 who got no stimulus check from the government.

Then [Gov.] Kathy Hochul tells New Yorkers — she tells her taxpaying citizens — “If you don’t like it, move to Florida!” That’s how disgusting it has become under one-party Democrat rule at the city, state, and federal level.

This is one of the things that really bothers me about [Democratic candidate] Tim Ryan. He says he stands for the working man. But what about millions of illegal migrants coming across the border and competing with working people for their jobs? What about the fact that Ohio is the third leading state when it comes to opioid overdose deaths?

These guys say that we’ve got to show compassion for illegal migrants — and of course, we do — but let’s show some compassion for our own citizens. Let’s actually secure the border so that we don’t have 100,000 Americans dying of fentanyl overdoses … We can’t run away from the border issue because it’s making our country poor.

Amid deep worries that Ohio’s foodbanks will run out of supplies this winter, a top official last week said that the labor shortage among food workers is particularly acute — and an irrational fear of immigrants isn’t helping.

… “We’re lacking is labor,” said the official, Ohio Association of Foodbanks Executive Director Lisa Hamler-Fugitt. “We’d rather demonize the people who plant our food, grow our food, pick our food, and bring our food to our grocery stores. Those are our migrant workers who do the work that most Americans have clearly demonstrated they can’t or won’t do.”

The Democrat-affiliated Immigration Hub posted a similarly skewed poll on August 24.

Several aspects of their immigration record are deeply concerning to swing voters and should be highlighted.

Republicans support separating immigrant families and putting children in cages. (67% very serious concerns)

Republicans are trying to deport law-abiding immigrants who have lived in and contributed to the United States for many years. (60% very serious concerns)

“Women and children who have been enticed into making the dangerous journey to our country are experiencing untold cruelty and suffering,” [Annie] Dickerson said in an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital ahead of the trip. “The women on this trip — from all different backgrounds and from all across the country — are linking arms to give these victims a voice and demand accountability,” she added.

We tested like 18 different pieces of creative [ideas] from like eight different creators from the advocacy stuff to the artist stuff, and virtually everything worked to activate the [Democratic progressive] base.

What we know definitively is that a large part of the culture wars has been organized around anti-immigrant narratives, and that we have, especially in the last decade, been very much losing the battle around immigration reform, around systematic change in immigration because of anti-immigrant narratives.
