That's fine by me, but let's face it, if it's true that illegal bording crossings are down, if it is true that riots are down in L.A. and if the Oval Office can make the murder/crime rate go down a lot in DC then the Republican Party will be known as the Party that stands for Law and Order and who can be against it? It seems the general population wants it and then see Democrats who are against it and try to turn it in to some Race bait thing or sum up how many vacation days Trump took, does it really matter? |

Thankfully polling indicates that most Americans are taking issue with Trump's heavy handedness and he's underwater in approval ratings even for the things you are mentioning here like immigration.
If there's one thing that I would call a cohesive American culture it's the sense that freedom is worth a lot of other sacrifices. We could probably decrease school shootings quite a bit if we cracked down on gun ownership similar to Australia but America by and large has decided we'd rather have the freedom to have guns even with the downsides. Similarly I'd rather have some crime in a city than a curfew. That so many on the right are ready and willing to give up their liberties to this tangerine Duarte to fight crime which is already down in a city they don't fucking live in is nuts. I guess conservative Americans are only interested in their own freedoms, not those of their fellows.
