Julie Hirschfeld: There’s Discontent with Some of the Tactics and a Feeling That ICE ‘Has Gone Too Far,’ Dems Can Take Comfort in That

RUSH EXCERPT:
HIRSCHFELD: "I mean I think the problem here, in terms of finding a solution, is that both sides can point to some support for their position right? Republicans know that, you know voters are supportive of the idea of cracking down on illegal immigration. That‘s certainly borne out in the polls. But what is also starting to show up is a real broad, not just Democrats, but also independents. And a lot of Republicans. Discontent with seeing some of these tactics and a feeling that I.s.I.s. has gone too far in the enforcement, really has gone too far. And so Democrats can take comfort in that and say, listen, we are the public is on our side here. So I think when you have both sides feeling, you know, that justified justification in their position and seeing that borne out in the polls, it becomes really difficult to figure out where either side can give without getting a lot of political blowback."
