With 2020 looming, Trump prioritizes an unpopular policy to address a problem that is less likely to be seen as a problem.
By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow April 8 at 1:36 PM In the wake of the firing of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Sunday, NBC News reported her relationship with President Trump became tense in part because of one specific issue: Trump’s support for reinstating a policy of separating children from their families when arriving at the U.S. border with Mexico.
What is clear, though, is the policy of pulling apart families at the border is one of the least popular Trump has proposed during his presidency. In June of last year there were several polls demonstrating how unpopular the policy was — even, relatively speaking, among Republicans. While Trump argues action is needed immediately to stem the influx of families at the border and, particularly, the number who then seek asylum in the United States., Americans haven’t been entirely convinced of that urgency. A Post-ABC poll released in January found only a quarter of respondents reported believing situation with illegal immigration at the border was a crisis, with about half calling it a serious problem.
