so what you are telling me is that the States that voted Trump in as president, on a platform of curbing immigration, approve of Trump's plan to curb immigration?

These are swing states. That means they can go R or D especially during midterm elections.

This level support for the RAISE Act is a big deal for senate and house candidates in these states. Looks like in these states whether you are an R or D you better support the RAISE Act.

Not sure if serious. The borders shouldn't be wide open all the time.

The media acts all outraged by this and the military tranny ban and acts like that will kill Trump's support but if you are the type of person who would be mad at the RAISE act or a tranny ban you never voted Trump in the first place

I wasnt serious. Mockin ole Jim Acosta/CNN who seem to think the statue of liberty is somehow a representation of our longstanding immigration policy.

The french gave it to us following the revolution as a symbol of friendship. It originally had zero to do with immigration.

I thought Trump supporters didn't believe polls.

The RAISE Act is DOA. Probably won't even come up for a vote in both houses of Congress. It's as dead as Trump's budget proposal.

See above post. Some of you need to work on sarcasm detectors.

Sad, because congress can get a lot of support by the people for passing this bill.

But I guess U.S. Chamber of Commerce donors with deep bribing pockets and a few George Soros loud mouthed SJWs are more important to GOP congressmen.

Because people are fricking stupid

Both Mexico and Canada are more strict than this because they are not idiots on this issue

We do. That's why we should support the RAISE Act.

Anyone with a brain would support it. It is common sense reform. Very much needed.
