In the latest can’t-believe-what-they’re-hearing episode, CBS host Margaret Brennan was taken aback when polling revealed the majority of Americans are pushing for mass deportations. Here’s an ‘inside baseball’ analysis that breaks it down.
On CBS’s Face the Nation, host Margaret Brennan had trouble swallowing the strong public opinion advocating for the expulsion of illegal immigrants from U.S. soil. Here’s the kicker – it’s not just right-wing conservatives echoing this sentiment but some Democrats too. Anthony Salvanto, CBS’s polling lead, confirmed this seismic shift in opinion across the political landscape.
A whopping 62% of Americans are on board with deportations. So why is this causing a commotion? After all, President Biden has been sending more undocumented immigrants home in the last year than any year since 2010 as stated by Homeland Security. But Brennan is spinning her wheels over the methodology of the agreed action, specifically targeting Trump’s suggestions as impractical and possibly illegal.
She even went so far as to throw the spotlight on children, implying the non-practicability of their roundup. There’s a clear inability and alarming reluctance on the part of local and federal authorities to act on the problem. Essentially, regardless of the legal resources, the question is being raised – what precisely does the public intend to support?
Her problem seems to be the jarring idea that regular, everyday folks aren’t deferring to D.C. power players, our so-called ‘Experts,’ to dictate public outlook. According to Salvanto, the poll aims to map a direction rather than sweat the trivialities, typically the bailiwick of courts and legislatures later on.
Yes, not everyone’s keeping an eye on every Supreme Court decision; Brennan’s assumption that they should be is her mistake. The public’s view on mass deportation is, simply put, a general sentiment that the framework just isn’t functioning anymore.
Bringing everything to a head, Salvanto expressed that viewer attitudes toward ongoing political trends are unconcerned with the specifics of policy particulars. His concluding note was both explicit and succinct: “Do something.”
But here’s the rub – the Biden administration, along with their liberal media cohorts, have taken a backseat on tackling illegal immigration head-on, undervaluing the growing sway of public opinion against their laid-back stance.
And there you have it. Our analysis shows that the frustration is not about where the wheels of the wagon are getting stuck, the bureaucracy or the details. It’s pretty simple. Americans want strong action on immigration, and they are tired of the government’s complacency. So, Washington – it’s high time you heed public opinion and, in the words of Salvanto, “Do something.”
