<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As I\u2019ve said before, Democrats have been overplaying their hand \u2013 in spectacular fashion \u2013 for years. Their widespread assumption that Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 election in a landslide may be the most obvious example, but it\u2019s certainly not the only instance, nor is it the most recent. That honor goes to the Schumer shutdown.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dems were absolutely, positively, convinced that Trump would catch hell over the government shutdown. They honestly expected a replay of 2013. They didn\u2019t get one. It quickly became clear that the American people were aware that Democrats had initiated the shutdown, they had leveraged children\u2019s healthcare against their agenda, and that agenda was designed to help millions of illegal immigrants.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Once Schumer realized this, he caved instantly.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Maybe that\u2019s because Democrats are starting to realize that U.S. Citizens aren\u2019t really on board with their insane view of how immigration should work. Take a look at this newly-released Harvard-Harris poll, which indicates that 4 of 5 Americans want less immigration \u2013 not more.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The results come to us Via the Freebeacon:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Eighty-one percent of Americans want one million or fewer legal immigrants to the United States per year, according to new polling datareleased\u00a0Monday<\/span><\/span>\u00a0by the Harvard-Harris poll, a number lower than the 1.38 million who came to the United States in 2015.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The plurality of respondents, 35 percent, think that there should be between 1 and 250,000 legal immigrants arriving to the United States per year. A net 12 percent want to see immigration increased to 1.5 million people per year or more, while nine percent of Americans think that there should be no new legal immigrants.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Plurality preference for between 1 and 250,000 new immigrants a year persists across white, Hispanic, and black Americans, as well as moderates and self-identified Democrats. Such a rate of immigration would be lower even than the rate expected from the RAISE Act, a bill backed by the administration and expected to cut immigration in half\u00a0in ten years<\/span><\/span>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Obviously, Democrats will scream \u201cracism\u201d when they see this. \u2026Not so fast, lefties. The usual schtick won\u2019t work here.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The complete poll does have some not-so-thrilling approval numbers for Donald Trump, but forget about him for a moment. Consider this:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For the last few years, Democrats have \u2013 almost across the board \u2013 abandoned issues that matter to working Americans in favor of supporting their march toward expanding legal and illegal immigration. We\u2019ve already discussed the Schumer catastrophe, but think back to the last election. Hillary\u2019s people made it clear that they didn\u2019t give a rat\u2019s rear about white, middle class, families \u2013 they very specifically said they were going to win without them. They told coal workers to find new jobs, told Christians to abandon their faith, screamed \u201cracism\u201d and \u201cmisogyny\u201d at everyone within earshot, and labeled anyone who disagreed \u201ca deplorable.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Through all of that, she and her cronies beat the immigration drum until it became synonymous with their party.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now, they have a problem. Conservatives have always been fine with regulated, vetted, merit-based legal immigration, but that\u2019s never been what Democrats are after. If the Harvard-Harris poll is correct, and I suspect it is, the Democratic party\u2019s central issue has become a major millstone. If they intend to go into 2018 with the same immigration platform (and I honestly don\u2019t see how they can walk it back) the hypothetical \u2018red wave\u2019 is going to become an undertow.<\/div>\n
