The American people are not virtuous when it comes to *predicting the consequence of our actions*, but most of us still have fundamental decency when we see the consequence of our actions…
Striking from new Quinnipiac poll:
*Voters prefer path to legalization over deportations for most undocs by 59-34. Among independents it's 61-33
*Majority says Trump on immigration is making America less safe
Again, there's broad rejection of the whole project, not just ICE tactics (see below)

There’s 5 year olds who’ve been locked up in a Texas ICE camp for over 8 months.
That’s where they sent little Liam Ramos.
He’s not being “protected”. He’s incarcerated.
He did nothing wrong.
His parents did nothing wrong. They were applying for asylum.

Thinking Russia will easily overrun Ukraine's "they/them" army because a Russian soldier did shirtless pushups in a recruitment ad is basically the same as thinking ICE would easily dominate the "weak, woke libs" of Minnesota because MAGA posts about masculinity and hype videos with hard rock.

Nuclear defense is why we built a base on Greenland in 1951. We had this idea 75 years ago. The base has been there since then. You don’t have to invade a country where you already have everything. Invasion just destroys what you have and much else besides.
