President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats are in the process of trying to shepherd through a massive tax and spend bill, the Build Back Better Act<\/a> (BBB). The massive $1.85 trillion spending package includes $100 billion to provide a form of amnesty for up to 7.1 million illegal aliens<\/a>. Following crushing electoral defeats in Virginia and New Jersey, Democrats now believe that passing the BBB Act is their last shot at \u201ctransformational change<\/a>\u201d before potential losses in the 2022 midterms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new poll by OnMessage<\/a> shows that a majority of voters \u2013 including independents \u2013 oppose the Democrats\u2019 plan to amnesty millions of illegal aliens. Pollster Nathan Klein penned a memo highlighting their findings to the National Republican Congressional Committee, arguing that the immigration elements of the BBB Act are unpopular with voters and will cost Democrats seats in the 2022 midterms. The memo states that \u201cthis polling shows broad, powerful, and intense opposition to measures that erase or eliminate border and immigration control.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The polling memo has a number of findings that show clear\nopposition to the proposed amnesty measures in the House of Representatives\u2019\nBBB Act text. A full 59 percent of voters \u2013 including 70 percent of\nindependents \u2013 oppose granting amnesty to illegal aliens. Fifty-six percent of\nvoters and 63 percent of independents oppose giving benefits such as work\nauthorization and federal aid to illegal aliens. Sixty-three percent of voters\nand 72 percent of independents opposed the Biden administration\u2019s plan to award\n$450,000 to every illegal alien separated from family members at the border in\n2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This poll reflects lessons learned from the Virginia and New Jersey 2021 elections. Voters rejected lawlessness<\/a> and defeated candidates that opposed law and order. Immigration plays an important role in that sentiment. The Biden administration\u2019s border policies are disastrous. President Biden and Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Alejandro Mayorkas dismantled almost all of the policies put in place by the Trump administration that kept illegal immigration under control. Worse, their policies encouraged illegal immigration by signaling to would-be-migrants that the days of immigration enforcement are over. Indeed, President Biden\u2019s and Secretary Mayorkas\u2019 policies have all but abolished Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> (ICE) as an effective law enforcement agency. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Border Patrol languish under the administration\u2019s abandonment of enforcing our immigration laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This polling shows that those policies have had a profound\nimpact politically. In the 2021 elections Republican, independent, and moderate\nDemocratic voters punished Democrats at the ballot box for their embrace of\nchaos at our borders and in American communities. This poll coupled with the\nresults of November 2 should be a wakeup call to moderates in Congress: pass\nthe amnesty-laden Build Back Better Act at your own peril. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
