Sensible Wisconsin Midwestern patriots demand law and order and immigration control. Let me show you in the latest numbers my polling from the Badger State, we asked Wisconsin citizens should state and local police fully cooperate with federal law enforcement on immigration. By a plus 23% margin, Wisconsin citizens say yes. Among Hispanics, plus 29%. We then describe the current Trump policy of offering generous cash incentives to, to illegals who will self deport. If they don't take us up on the offer, they are subject to deportation by plus 24%. Wisconsin citizens believe in this policy. Hispanics plus 42%. We also asked Wisconsin citizens if they want to imitate next door Minnesota when it comes to immigration policy. And they don't want to follow that radicalism. Only 27% want to be like Minnesota. Only 28% of Catholics in Wisconsin, which is a deeply Catholic swing state. So the verdict is clearly in. We're going to protect our wages, our street safety and our national security. And this is a consensus opinion in a key swing state.

Okay, we've got all this, we have all these primaries coming up. And Cortez, this is so powerful because it's Wisconsin. It's not like Texas or, or Arizona. And people seem to have forgotten this is still central. And you see up in Wisconsin, you had the governor of Wisconsin on the other day and they catch him in the, I think the Capitol, and he's sitting there going, Trump. And these people are in the deportation people are. If you actually had enforcement of our immigration laws, the economy of Wisconsin would collapse. I mean, he said it like three times. He's adamant about this. Your data, the reason I love these polls, you're showing that the American people are paying attention to what's important. It may not be in the headlines every day and we need to reinforce that. I can tell you down here the situation with Sharia law, it was right below the surface. We gave her permission structure to talk about it. This is what people are talking about now. It's motivating people to go to the polls. The same with the H1B visas. So what's the lesson you're deriving from this information? Particularly when you've got the governor out there saying the exact opposite and saying the economy will collapse. Trump doesn't know what he's talking about, sir.

No, ridiculous. By the way, real incomes have risen every single month that President Trump is in office. The that's in part because of sound economic policies. But I think the primary driver is about two and a half million illegals leaving this country, most of whom were competing in the labor market unjustly, unfairly against American citizen laborers. You take them away. Guess what? Wages for citizens go up. Wages for blue collar systems go up even more than the overall trend in Wisconsin. And everywhere, thankfully, Governor Evers is leaving office. He is retiring. We're going to have a wide open race to replace him. On the Republican side, it's Tom Tiffany who takes immigration enforcement seriously, thankfully. And the people of Wisconsin overwhelmingly agree with him, including, by the way, Hispanic citizens. And I'd also point out, Steve, regarding this poll, you know I do my polling rigorously and scientifically. This was not a great poll for Republicans overall. The economic numbers, frankly, were pretty dismal. So I was by no means using a sample where I was putting my thumb on the scale. But, but on immigration, the people's will is clear and particularly when the Trump policies explained to them. I think that's maybe the key finding that I learned is that a lot of Americans don't realize that generous cash incentives have been offered to every single illegal alien. We will literally put money in your pocket, pay for the flight home. You may legally apply later. That's an incredibly magnanimous and generous offer from the American people to a lot of folks who have trespassed, who've broken entered into our homeland. When that is explained to people that that's the policy. And if you don't take us up on the generous offer, you then get deported. The support is overwhelming among Hispanics, as I pointed out there, plus 42% margin in favor of that Trump policy. By the way, when that's explained even to Kamala Harris voters. Let me give you the data here. Even among Kamala Harris voters, 28% actually support the Trump policy if it's explained to them. 28%, a third almost of Kamala Harris voters in Wisconsin. And I also put that, speaking of that same number, 28%. The reason I mentioned the Catholic part there, I think that's very relevant just today because of course we know that the Conference of Catholic Bishops unfortunately issued an amicus briefing before the Supreme Court weighing in on birthright citizenship, something that the Church has no standing to even talk about, has never talked about in Europe. All of the Catholic countries of Europe do not have birth, birthright citizenship. Few countries in the world have it. So the faithful in Wisconsin are clearly in step with the America first vision on immigration and not with Catholic leadership vision on this very key issue. So this remains a winning issue if you ask the questions in a fair and objective manner. A super majority of Americans are in favor of rigorous immigration enforcement.
