Quote of the Day

“Trump and his aides will risk a public backlash if they wrongly believe that Americans will support almost any deportations. Many Americans will find it hard to accept the expulsion of undocumented immigrants who have lived here for many years and built stable lives. My colleague Eli Saslow profiled one of them: Jaime Cachua, who has lived in Rome, Georgia, since he was 1 and is married to an American woman, Jennifer, with whom he has two children. “I’ve never felt like a foreigner until now,” Cachua recently told his father-in-law, who voted for Trump.”
David Leonhardt, The New York Times
After the past four years of record immigration, much of it illegal, most Americans support mass deportations. Still, most are uncomfortable with the specific policies that would be necessary to deport anywhere close to all undocumented immigrants.
