alright... maybe you can just help me out and clarify your point instead of making me play the guessing game. cause tbh i'm hardly holding it together these days
your chart is about a vague attitude toward immigration in general, not a statement about the american public's perception of illegal immigrants so far as i can see. the situation on the border with the cartels and drug/human smuggling has got a good number of people pretty spooked from what i've heard.
edit - but i think it's fair to say things are going to shift in favor of immigrants and even a lot of current illegals, given the current trends. because many legal immigrants have illegal immigrant friend/relatives
and so as long as we keep filling certain parts of the country with these people, those stats will continue along that trajectory.
which is probably why conservatives like ann coulter or donald think now is the time for them to speak out. because if anything they have as much leverage now on that issue as they're ever going to have. if they allow the current trends to continue unchallenged then they will certainly never get their way. if they have any shot at hoping to challenge those policies... that door/window is rapidly closing. so it would actually make perfect sense to me that it's now or never for them and thus the enthusiastic campaign effort.
