Hypothesis: Trump chose to act now on immigration not because it's an important issue to him, but to distract voters from his bungled handling of the coronavirus epidemic. So if we take the bait, he wins.

For Trump to lose, moderate voters have to change their minds about him. I doubt any will change their mind about immigration; whatever they believe, they believe. Whereas the coronavirus probably changed a lot of moderate voters' minds. Which is why he wants to change the topic.

For moderate voters changing their minds is mostly depends on who is running against him.

Considering how low voter turnout in the US is, the election could really go either way even if nobody changes their mind that much

Isn't it pathetic to criticize Trump for his handling of the virus when it's clearly NY and democratic leaders who made catastrophic decisions regarding nursing homes? Take NY out and the US is doing way better than almost all European countries.pic.twitter.com/dKLfUDQnlN

It's startling, that analysis of various perspectives aren't leading to people holding fewer beliefs and iterating for high accuracy of beneficial outcomes.

In the UK views (and salience) seem to have changed on immigration since (at least) the Brexit referendum: https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/uk-public-opinion-toward-immigration-overall-attitudes-and-level-of-concern/ … There is scope for changing views, as well as changing the importance of those views.

I actually think he is doing it, because it will get back employment. But it will not..

He sees 2% as a low number. Lacks the ability to multiply it by the population and feel any sense of humanity.
