The Democrat Party’s open borders, mass immigration platform for the upcoming 2020 presidential election is turning off moderate Democrat voters, a new poll reveals.
For months now, Democrats running in the presidential primary have largely presented platforms promoting amnesty for all 11 to 22 million illegal aliens, free health care for illegal aliens, and the decriminalization of illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border.
This open borders agenda, spearheaded by a select group of white liberals in the party’s ranks, is causing a rift among Democrats.
The latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll finds that a plurality of 47 percent of moderate Democrat voters say providing free health care

NPR/PBS poll? The numbers must be far worse than they're reporting.

I question the existence of so-called "moderate" Democrats. Is that like "moderate" jihadis?
Does a "moderate" think we should only stop drug cartels & coyotes every other mile along the border?

These results show that PDJT's forcing Pelosi to link herself and the Dem party to the "Jihad Squad" and the other far leftists was a brilliant strategy. This could end up paying unimagined dividends come election day. I hope that this might get those so-called moderates to rethink their loyalty to the Left and at least consider the solutions our side has been proposing and abandon the dark side; but I'll settle for their just staying home on election day.

I should hope that some of those people speak out against Antifa and the rest of the lawless thugs. The democrat party has, itself, become a lawless party.

This open borders and open access to welfare rolls is why democrats are losing their lock on the black vote. Black voters know there is a limit to how much free stuff there can be.

Moderate Democrats probably means white blue collar Democrats. Especially males. They want jobs. They are sick of the far left in your face politics that are primarily Socialist, Communist, and Muslim. They are tired of seeing migrants (legal and illegal) getting more aid then they do. President Trump already has this area well staked out.

The moderate Democrat doesn’t exist or, at least, doesn’t exist in Oklahoma. Every one I know, and I know a few, wants an open border and free healthcare for all. They want that and then complain taxes are not high enough to support public schools drowning in costs to educate the illegal. They.are.insane. And there are lots of them.

Long gone is the pretense of any elected Democrat being a moderate, and definitely no more are conservative.
Today's elected Democrats are far-left, liberals and/or progressives.
Only about 20-23% of the population identifies as liberal, which includes progressives. But, I'll bet if the question was expanded it would be a far lower percentage. Thus, elected Democrats not representing their constituents in the true sense of representing their interests. And, liberal/progressive Democrats are over-represented in Congress compared to the polls of those who consider themselves Democrat.
So, there's a HUGE opening for the GOP to pull many of those who aren't actually being represented by pushing, and acting, on policies that directly impact moderate/conservative Democrats.

Minority American workers, including most legal immigrants, do not want "Open Borders" as then they would have to compete with the entire world for a job in any industry where foreign workers could be hired. If the Democrat "Open Borders" political agenda were to become officially effective it would not be long before wages paid in any industry where foreign workers could be hired , in accordance with the principles of labor supply and demand, would diminish to near the federal minimum wage. If the Democrats think that anything like their "Open Borders" agenda, that they are now stuck with, will be an election winner for them they will be sadly mistaken. That's just common sense!
