There is no way to construct a “popularist” immigration policy because what the public wants is literally impossible. They want mass deportations without a crackdown, criminals disappeared without impacting due process, and nobody to be above the rules but exceptions made for the good ones.
Wow. New CBS poll finds majority (55%) supports the *general goal* of deportations, but a bigger majority (56%) dislikes how Trump is carrying them out. And 63% want due process.
Again, we need a better discourse around public opinion on immigration, as I've argued:

A lot of posting devolves into the opinion that if your side had perfect messaging discipline, which you have zero authority or ability to implement, than everything would be fine

as people get mad at me for just the darndest things on this site and accuse me of not actually thinking through my positions (I do put some thought into what i say, believe it or not), here's my reasoning as to why you should bring a walkie to a protest (thread):

You know what’s pretty easy to track at a protest? Cell phone. You know what’s pretty hard to track? Low power walkie talkies.

That's right - whereas previously it cost millions of dollars to broadcast consistently to even a local audience, you can now broadcast to literally the entire globe for the cost of phone and internet. Problem is, that means EVERYONE IS DOING IT - a tidal wave of ideas competing for eyeballs.
