The same poll reported that 57% of voters said they “miss Donald Trump's policies on the economy, immigration, and crime.”
The news comes as Biden and Democrats press Republican senators to support a plan that would help Biden and his media allies declare the immigration issue resolved.
“We'll be able to work something out next week, at least in the Senate. I'm hopeful that it will pass in the Senate as a bipartisan bill,” he told Democrats during a Jan. 19 meeting. He added that Republicans in the White House “must choose whether they want to solve the problem or continue to weaponize it to score political points against the president.”
Biden is also asking Republicans for at least $14 billion to bus, house and hide many of the 2024 immigrants and the 6.2 million illegal immigrants already admitted after 2021. .
Most polling organizations treat immigration as a cultural issue, even though Washington, D.C.'s long-standing extractive immigration strategy has transferred vast amounts of wealth from young Americans to older investors.
Immigration drives down wages, pushes Americans out of white-collar jobs, raises housing prices and inflation, and transfers wealth away from central states to coastal states.
Additionally, many undocumented and older immigrants are unable to obtain jobs that allow them to live above the poverty line, so they receive tax-funded aid such as free health care, education, and shelter.
Many polls suggest that Biden's re-election plan is threatened by the congressman's eagerness to welcome millions of poor workers, taxpayer-funded consumers and apartment-share renters. It is shown that
