I think Americans are correct to be outraged about how many of these situations are handled. We need to speak with out votes on Election Day to elect people that represent our views when it matters.

Immigration is still Trumps most popular issue. I’d be interested to see polling on whether Americans think Trump has gone too far. I think he has and is doing it wrong. That said, the popular opinion in this country is that people want to see action.
