What Do Voters Care About? Illegal Immigration, For One Thing.
2018-07-24
h/t Instapundit
[Powerline] The post immediately below addresses the fact that voters don’t care much about the Democrats’ Helsinki hysteria. Most voters, I think, are smart enough to understand that Donald Trump, unlike his predecessor, is unabashedly pro-America. Thus, the Left’s insane claim that he committed "treason" by not denouncing Vladimir Putin in a public forum convinces no one, especially since the news outlets promoting that attack cheered Barack Obama’s give-away-the-store approach enthusiastically. The average American may not be brilliant, but he isn’t that stupid.

That said, what do voters care about? Illegal immigration, for one thing. Here again, the Democrats have mostly misfired. Their "separated children" campaign‐which was exquisitely coordinated with virtually every newspaper and television network in America, I give them credit for that‐fell rather flat. Most people are much more concerned about the many adverse impacts of illegal immigration on our country.

Crimes by illegal immigrants are just one issue among several; lower wages for unskilled and semi-skilled Americans is another. But crime grabs headlines, so this Judicial Watch survey is highly relevant: "Busy Month for Illegal Immigrants Committing Heinous Crimes."

#5  Talk about illegal immigration:

Barack Obama had a slip of the tongue in Kogelo, Kenya this past weekend.
During a speech Obama told the African audience he was from Kenya,

“Now three years ago I visited Kenya as the first sitting American president to come from Kenya.”

#1  Dont forget the main effect of subsidized (i.e. below av wage migration) migration is to boost rents.
