Morning Glory: An offer they can't refuse

Fox News contributor Karl Rove discusses the ongoing immigration crisis as President Biden and former President Trump are both scheduled to visit the border Thursday and reacts to Biden's interview with Seth Meyers.

Earlier this month the Senate rejected a "compromise" on the border and sent a bill to the House that funds Israel’s many needs following the 10/7 massacre, Taiwan’s defenses, weapons for Ukraine and a significant spend on America’s defense industrial base. Now Speaker Mike Johnson has to decide what to do with it because he needs more support from his Caucus than the bill as currently written garners from the House GOP caucus. The best strategy for the Speaker? Make everyone an offer they can’t refuse: Build the wall.

The key to getting the Supplemental passed lies in a Washington Post article from February 27, the headline of which tells the story: "The Border Wall Has Never Been More Popular."

The critical two paragraphs:

"Multiple recent polls have shown support for building a wall along the southern border creating a majority.

"Late last year, it was Quinnipiac University and Fox News polling that showed between 52 and 57 percent supported its construction. On Monday it was a Monmouth University poll that pegged support at 53 percent."

Those are eye-popping numbers because the wall is former President Trump’s signature issue, but the collapse of security at the border and President Biden’s shrugging of shoulders at the flood of migrants who have crossed the border since he became president has changed public opinion dramatically in Trump’s and the wall’s favor.
