‘Shame On The Democrats’: Chris Cuomo Says ‘Loser’ Stance On One Issue Clinched President Trump’s Win

When President Donald Trump secured his resounding victory in November, it was in response to a wide array of factors impacting the American people.

One of the most commonly cited issues was immigration, considering the millions of migrants who entered the U.S. illegally under Joe Biden’s watch.

Trump’s tough approach to border security and immigration law enforcement has been a resounding success, as evidenced by its popularity among U.S. citizens and efficacy in reducing the number of illegal border crossings:

There has been a massive shift to the right over the last decade on immigration views.

When asked whether all immigrants here illegally (or "undocumented immigrants" in some polls) should be deported, the majority now say yes in all polls.

Despite a clear and resounding message from most of the nation, including a growing number of leftists, the Democratic Party has maintained its support of amnesty — if not in name, at least in spirit.

Chris Cuomo, a former CNN anchor whose brother is the disgraced former Democratic governor of New York, took aim at the party for its shortsighted and unpopular stance on immigration.

According to the Daily Caller:

“And you’re going to have to give. But the idea that you can lose on immigration by giving the Republicans what they want, I don’t think exists in our majority population anymore,” Cuomo added. “I think if you want the majority of this country with you, you need to reform immigration and chain migration, or family reunification, and how it’s done and getting rid of catch and release.”

“The idea that people entering this country illegally are not the same as other criminals — they’re never going to just be thrown in jail. There are always going to have to be accommodations,” he said. “But you should be on the side of fixing it. Inaction is no longer a substitute for proper action or right action as Democrats see it. You got to be part of the solution ’cause it’s going to happen anyway.”

Trump’s mass deportation agenda has majority support from voters, including 86% of Republicans, 58% of independents and 25% of Democrats, according to a September Scripps News/Ipsos poll.

“And if it’s on amnesty? Shame on the Democrats. That is a loser with the American people — and not just right now, for a while … Democrats, whatever plan comes out is going to be better than where we are right now,” Cuomo added. “And you can talk about what message it sends about America and this and that.”

Cuomo is far from the only news pundit placing much of the blame for Kamala Harris’ loss on the Biden administration’s open-borders agenda:

Despite loads of Democrat denial, it's clear why Kamala Harris lost the election, @RobFinnertyUSA says:

Of all the commentators and pundits, this is the best, most accurate explanation of what the Democrats lost. The border, identity politics, and cancel culture brought them down. I would add failed criminal justice reforms, too.pic.twitter.com/3iQorxhz2d

Meanwhile, Trump continues to enjoy some of his highest approval rates ever, which have been boosted by the response to his immigration policy.

As the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported about a recent Marquette University poll:

Immigration appears to be an area of political strength for Trump, though even in that case there are mixed signals.
