      In point of fact, if you want to use net migration to the United States as a measure of desirability, it has been in steep decline in the last few years, starting with Trump but continuing with Biden, as have other measures of social health like life expectancy.

      This was Obama's "America is already great" line from 2016. It was out of tune with the times then, and remains so now.pic.twitter.com/OnC3Q4iJBX

          Let me suggest that if your whole schtick is you can figure out what's politically popular & how to turn that into winning messages, you should have some awareness of the polling evidence pointing towards starkly pessimistic public opinion.

          ICE is on the scene of a shooting that took place in a heavily Hispanic school so undocumented parents have to consider arrest deportation before they go check to see if their kids are alive. What a fucking country.
