60% of Americans say Vice President Kamala Harris “has not clearly explained her policies” regarding illegal immigration. public opinion poll By Pew Research Center.
The paper found that only 30% of American respondents said President Donald Trump has not clearly explained his plans for illegal immigration. Survey conducted from September 30th to October 6th with 5,110 respondents..
On the other hand, 38% said Harris has clearly explained her immigration policy, while 69% said President Trump has clearly explained his planned policies.
But Harris is very clear on other issues. For example, 72% of Americans say Harris has clearly explained abortion policy, and 60% say Trump has explained abortion-related policies.
There are two possible reasons for the public perception that Harris is hiding her immigration policy.
First, every time she deflects a question about immigration and reverts to a misleading explanation of the pro-immigration bill that the Senate's bipartisan leadership tried to force through the Senate in January, establishment media rarely press for details. On October 7, for example, Harris sidestepped the issue in a lengthy interview with CBS News. 60 minutes show:
60 Minutes: But the first three years of your administration saw a historic surge of illegal immigrants across the border. In fact, the number of people entering the country has quadrupled compared to last year under President Trump. Was it a mistake to relax immigration policies so much?
Harris: That's a long-standing issue. And the solution is right around the corner. And literally from day one, we've been offering solutions…The policies we've been proposing are about solving problems, not promoting them, okay? ? …We need to allow Congress to act to actually solve the problem.
A second explanation is that her pro-immigration policies are so unpopular among swing voters that she and her media allies want to obscure them. For example, she has repeatedly said she supports the Senate bill, which is routinely described by the media as a “draconian” border bill. However, the bill loosened asylum laws and legalized the unrestricted migration of Americans into communities, workplaces, and schools.
Harris also announced her economic plan after a backlash from the establishment media, but her plan is not to seek jobs and to do what is currently being arranged by Biden's pro-immigration border security chief. It assumes a continued influx of immigrants who will raise rents and lower wages.
Harris' policy of concealing her immigration priorities has been helped by her decision to keep a low profile on immigration issues during President Joe Biden's term. This lack of visibility means the public knows little about Harris' role in Bien's disastrous border policies. On September 18th, Ipsos polling company Reported:
There is no consensus among Americans about Harris' immigration-related responsibilities as vice president.
10% believe she is responsible for addressing the reasons immigrants leave their home countries for the United States.
17% believe she is responsible for keeping the southern border secure.
28% said they were a mix of both.
24% think she has little responsibility
20% don't know
Many media outlets are eager to help hide Harris' radical pro-immigration policies. For example, the founders of Axios.com I wrote Harris and Trump “fundamentally agree on strengthening borders and toughening immigration laws: Harris and the Biden administration accepted restrictions on asylum Similar to the Trump policies they once opposed. ”
In contrast to her vague plan on immigration, Ms. Harris wants her pro-abortion policies to be clear to women in her base and swing voters. According to a Pew poll, 72% of Americans say Harris clearly explains her abortion policies, and 60% say President Trump explains his abortion policies.
