And right now, they're feeling the political backlash.
Yeah, I thought it was notable that on this trip to Iowa, he spoke to Will Kane on Fox News, and he had some pretty tough words for Greg Bovino, who had been the face of immigration enforcement.
He called him a pretty out there kind of guy, which I think tells you a little something about how Trump saw how he was being perceived, Bovino, and that that has been hurting him politically, Trump.
Of course, he wants to pivot back to the protesters and say that they're
quote unquote, paid insurrectionists, paid agitators.
There's that.
He wants to try to make that argument.
But right now, they're behind the eight ball when it comes to the messaging on immigration.
There's far less of a discussion about the border and people and fewer, if no people, crossing the border illegally and more about these deportation tactics.
And I thought that was interesting from his speech yesterday in Iowa that there was nothing on Minnesota.
He didn't talk anything about ICE enforcement actions.
Lots on immigration though.
Trump still wants to be able to shoehorn immigration as his best issue.
It's not, yeah.
You know, it's interesting because getting U.S.
citizenship is really hard.
It takes a long time.
And I think for a lot of people, they figured once they get citizenship, then they're American and that there's no going back.
There's no turning back.
And for a lot of people, it's a huge relief because they feel like all that work and effort and sacrifice that they've made for themselves or their families.
