The grandstanders put on quite a show, but they're not swaying the general public

Has your Facebook newsfeed, in the last few days, been polluted by a tiresome flood of grandstanding and feelings-indulgence about the border situation? People claiming to be losing sleep over it? Pictures of rallies at city halls? That obscene Time cover?

Take heart. Most people aren't seeing the situation that way:

According to a new Rasmussen poll, a majority of Americans blame illegal immigrant parents for the child crisis on the border over the U.S. government.

The media has put a hyper focus on the separation of families at the border over the last several weeks, leading President Donald Trump to sign an executive order ending the separation. Current U.S. law does not allow families to be detained together if the parents are referred for prosecution for illegal border crossing.

However, the Rasmussen poll shows that Americans don’t blame the Trump administration for the approximately 2,000 children who have been separated from their parents.

54 percent of likely voters polled by Rasmussen said that they think the parents are more to blame for breaking the law.

Only 35 percent said the government is more to blame for the crisis.
Further, 54 percent of voting Americans agree with President Trump’s assertion that “The United States will not be a migrant camp. And it will not be a refugee-holding facility — it won’t be.”

The survey of 1000 likely voters was conducted on June 19-20. 

Once again, we see an example of the Left being quite loud, but not convincing the normals that they possess moral superiority and that the tide of events is on their side.
