Washington Examiner Editor-in-Chief Hugo Gurdon said the Democratic Party is “completely on the wrong side” of immigration while the public supports its enforcement.

“This is an issue which plays terribly badly for Democrats. It’s one where, essentially, they are siding where 80% of the country is opposed. This is actually Donald Trump’s most popular policy,” Gurdon said on NewsNation’s On Balance with Leland Vittert Tuesday. “He’s risen 21 points since his first administration on immigration. Immigration enforcement includes deportations. America agrees with him, and the Democrats have got themselves completely on the wrong side of this. So, yes, he’s on the offensive. Democrats are deeply on the defensive.”
