Edward Erler for American Greatness on whether Donald Trump regrets
taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay the National Question on
the campaign trail against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://amgreatness.com/2022/03/19/citizenship-immigration-and-the-great-society/>
| Thus, legislation that involved vital issues of national sovereignty
| was decided exclusively on the basis of interest brokering--with
| scarcely a nod in the direction of the national interest, or a
| concern for the impact that amnesty might have on the status of
| American citizenship. Interest brokering and negotiating is, of
| course, intrinsic to democratic politics. But issues of sovereignty
| and citizenship involve national interests of general applicability
| and the common good; these issues are least amenable to such
| politics. They are the issues which most require presidential
| leadership, and it was here where President Reagan retreated from
| his national responsibility. The openness and compassion he
| expressed in his Immigration Reform and Control Act signing
| statement was later to become the hallmark of the George W. Bush
| Administration's immigration policy.

Does Bill Stepien's surveys of potential Trump 2024 voters show
support for an immigration moratorium?
