How is Trump going to handle the immigration issue come election time?

Yes and no...he picked his battles the first two of years and didn't pick immigration because the establishment Republicans didn't want it (any fix with them would have involved giving "Dreamers" and such amnesty which would go over like a lead brick with his base) and its a good wedge issue (i.e. look at how nutzo the Left has gotten on it).oregonblitzkrieg said:
Sounds like a manufactured scenario straight out of the NWO factory. Have the puppets one side, the leftists, take a stance that is so insane and outrageous as to make the stance of the puppets on the other side seem palatable. Trump's stance on this issue is talk a big game, but do nothing. That's not winning the argument. It's putting lipstick on a pig. In the end the result will be the same, because the US is controlled by the NWO. And the NWO wants the immigration invasion to continue.HoustonHusky said:Doubt it...you have the other side wanting to decriminalizing all illegal immigration and offering to give all illegal immigrants free health care. Hell, you had a chunk of them cross the boarder and campaign with the illegals.
Trump will win that argument easy...
He campaigns on winning the house by fixing it and actually wins the house he will have to do something...its gotten bad enough his base might not even scream about the Dreamers as much.
I would guess part of his problem is that he thought if he did tax cuts and "fixed" immigration (in a half-assed way because Paul Ryan and company wouldn't have signed off on much) in the first 2 years he's have nothing to run on (and would have pissed off part of his base) and would be a lame duck...don't agree, but my opinion isn't important.

Paul Cryin was a problem he should have dealt with immediately. He could have applied more pressure to have that clown removed from his post and replaced.HoustonHusky said:

Yeah, but the backdrop of the fake Russia narrative prevented a lot of things from happening...half of his own party was on board with that fraud and ready to run him out of office. He had no political capital at the time. Heck, he couldn’t even get his own party to remove/replace Obamacare and they all ran on that.oregonblitzkrieg said:

Michigan Swing Voters Blast 2020 Democrats on Immigration: ‘We Need to Focus on Americans’
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/07/15/michigan-swing-voters-blast-2020-democrats-on-immigration-we-need-to-focus-on-americans/
“Michigan swing voters are, by a majority, siding with President Trump’s “America First” immigration agenda and blasting plans by 2020 Democrat presidential primary candidates to open the United States-Mexico border, decriminalize illegal immigration, and provide free healthcare to all illegal aliens.
An Axios report which chronicled a focus group of Michigan swing voters — those who voted for Mitt Romney in 2012, but switched to vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and those who voted for Barack Obama twice, but switched to vote for Trump in 2016 — finds that by a majority these voters prefer Trump’s low-immigration, high-wage economic model as opposed to the 2020 Democrats’ plans to allow an unlimited flow of foreign workers to the country, legally and illegally.”
A recent Zogby Analytics poll, conducted for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, surveyed Michigan voters on a number of immigration issues and found that a majority support Trump’s immigration agenda.
For instance, more than 54 percent of Michigan voters said they support ending the country’s mass importation of legal low-wage foreign workers, nearly half said they support ending the process known as “chain migration” whereby newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country, 77 percent said they support a nationwide ban on employers hiring illegal aliens, and 55 percent said they are more likely to support a 2020 presidential candidate who agrees with the details of these plans. -
Nationwide, mandatory E-Verify — the system that bans employers and businesses from hiring illegal aliens over American workers — is supported by at least 3-in-4 likely U.S. voters in six swing states, a new poll finds.
Mandatory E-Verify, which is part of President Trump’s most recent immigration plan, gets sweeping support from the overwhelming majority of likely American voters in swing states such as Arizona, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
The latest Zogby Analytics poll conducted for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) finds that across these six swing states, support for nationwide, mandatory E-Verify ranges from 75 percent to nearly 82 percent among all likely voters. -

who would have thought his "close the borders" nonsense would actually increase illegal immigration?oregonblitzkrieg said:He's been an abysmal failure on this, his supposed signature issue. He's been nothing but talk and hot air. A big windbag. There is still no wall. Invaders are pouring in by the millions. His administration is either complicit or incompetent. Likely both. The other side is for open borders. So is Trump apparently. He's done NOTHING to stop the invasion. He's been so spineless that he even backed down on putting real pressure on the communist president of Mexico.
It will take some yuge action on his part to get many of his former supporters back on his side again, big action to get these supporters to pick up a ballot and vote him in again.
you are right that trump has failed on his signature issue. -
The original question posited to start this thread reminds me of the famous Pauline Kael quote.
The Actual Pauline Kael Quote—Not As Bad, and Worse
https://www.commentarymagazine.com/culture-civilization/the-actual-pauline-kael-quote—not-as-bad-and-worse/
“The clearest example of the bizarrely naive quality of hermetic liberal provincialism was attributed to the New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael almost 40 years ago, and has been discussed in right-wing circles ever since. It went something like this: “I can’t believe Nixon won. I don’t know anyone who voted for him.” Several years ago, I went on an admittedly desultory search for the original quote and was unable to locate it.”

Incompetent treasonous dotardcrats like Gavin Newsome are responsible for the increase in illegal immigration by promises of free health care and other widely publicized incentives for illegals to come here. Trump is responsible for not having Gavin Newsome and other sanctuary state governors and sanctuary city mayors arrested, and for not sending troops to border to stop the invasion and to threaten Mexico.

Obviously not because of illegal immigration, that is the theme of this thread if you missed it.dhdawg said:

The unfortunate fact is that Democrats are underwater on the immigration issue like almost every policy position.
