A PRRI poll revealed 46% of Republican voters support using the U.S. military to detain undocumented immigrants in camps, a prospect pollster Robert P. Jones found alarming to survey.

    Yeah, There have been many many warnings about this over the years but people don’t seem to want to listen. Politicians just want to campaign and there’s no room for the designated loser in a campaign. Nobody in power is trying to protect them anymore.
