NANCY’S NIGHTMARE: Polls Show ‘IMMIGRATION’ Top Issue Heading into Midterms

posted by Hannity Staff - 7.06.18

A stunning new poll shows the hot-button immigration crisis along the US-Mexico border is taking the top-spot of issues most important to Americans heading into the 2018 midterms; signaling a possible disaster for Democrats and liberal candidates.

According to a new survey conducted by Reuters, immigration has overtaken the economy and healthcare as the “most important issue determining Americans’ vote ahead of the midterm elections in November.”

The poll shows that 15% of likely voters said immigration was their main concern, with 14% saying the economy. 26% of registered Republicans said immigration was their top priority; up 14% from another survey just weeks ago.

“Americans are squarely divided along partisan lines on Trump’s stance on immigration: Eighty-one percent of Republicans said they approve of his handling of the issue while 84 percent of registered Democrats said they disapprove,” writes Reuters.

Just 7% of registered Democrats cited immigration as their main concern.

BORDER CHAOS: DHS Boss Says 80% of Asylum Cases ‘NOT Legitimate’

posted by Hannity Staff - 5.16.18

Approximately 80% of potential asylum cases at the US-Mexico border are not legitimate and don’t meet the appropriate requirements for entry into the United States, said the Director of Homeland Security Wednesday.

DHS Boss Kirstjen Nielsen was speaking with Fox News when she outlined the stunning statistics; adding roughly 20% of asylum seekers are eventually granted resident-status by federal immigration judges.

“The way the system works right now the threshold under law is so low that about 80 percent pass that initial interview, but only 20 percent are granted asylum by a judge, which tells us that 80 percent of that is either just a flat-out fraud or somebody who thinks they can come here because they want a job here,” said Nielsen.

“That’s not asylum. Or ‘I want to reunify with my family.’ That’s not asylum. ‘I just want to come to the United States’ — not asylum. We have legal ways to do that, but it’s not through asylum,” she added.

The Director’s comments come just days after the so-called ‘Migrant Caravan’ of Central American immigrants arrived at the US-Mexico border, with many seeking asylum in the United States.

BORDER CHAOS: California BANS TROOPS from Helping Border Patrol Agents

posted by Hannity Staff - 4.16.18

The government of California officially rebuked the Trump administration’s decision to deploy the National Guard to the southern border Monday; saying federal plans had their troops working “too closely” with immigration enforcement.

According to the Associated Press, state officials notified federal authorities that deployed soldiers will be prohibited from tackling duties seen as cracking down on illegal immigration: including fixing border patrol vehicles, operating surveillance cameras, and monitoring radio transmissions.

Last week, Governor Jerry Brown confirmed that he was willing to deploy upwards of 400 troops to the United States’ border with Mexico, but added the service members would be prohibited from aiding federal agents in stemming the flow of people across the border.

“This will not be a mission to build a new wall,” Brown wrote. “It will not be a mission to round up women and children or detain people escaping violence and seeking a better life. And the California National Guard will not be enforcing federal immigration laws.”
