Not most, but a significant number.

The abuse of special visas is well documented.

The displacement of Americans in such areas as construction, hospitality industry is well known.

There are sufficient Americans who are pissed off with open borders to make it a political issue...Not most.

"Open borders" is a politically loaded and inaccurate term calculated to inspire fear. Read and learn.

Pew Research poll out today shows Clinton would win by 9% if the election was held today.

News from the Comey hearings on Capitol Hill:

Hillary gave unauthorized access to emails in her private server to her attorneys who did not have any security clearance. Yet another example of irresponsible behavior.

That's interesting. Rasmussen has Trump up by 2 points.
