    Anyone who would vote to limit immigration is so anti-American that I cannot believe they are listened to at all.

    I recognize the reality of it, but it’s just a bag full of insanity to me.

      That doesn’t change the fact that polling has shifted on the issue. Whether or not the shift lasts or not, who can say, but people clearly are cooling to the idea In a way they haven’t since Obama was in office. By your metric, Fetterman might have irrational and un-American constituents, but they’re the folks who put him in office, unfortunately. I can’t fault him for trying to read the room and find a bipartisan compromise. Whether it comes with “limiting immigration” or not, an overhaul to our outdated immigration system has been overdue since the 1990s.

        I agree. I dislike them, not him. He’s doing his job.

        I may disagree with his position, but I don’t dislike him as a person.

      You’re dissatisfied with your party’s actions and wish they would listen to their left?

      Do tell.
