Michelle Malkin, the 50-year-old Filipino Former Fox News contributor has been railed against by both parties for being “too far-right”. That isn’t stopping her from getting her message out though, as long as the big tech companies allow her to have her voice. In a recent tweet, Malkin praised a new ad playing on Fox News during Super Tuesday slamming the United States immigration policy.
In the ad, the video explains how we are now legally allowing more than double the amount of immigrants than we did just a few decades ago. The claim, in the video, says that Americans don’t want one million legal immigrants a year, but that politicians aren’t listening. Malkin: “Terrific NumbersUSA ad – Are you listening @realDonaldTrump“.
Clearly she is trying to get a message to President Trump, who has been calling for stopping illegal immigration, but actually more legal immigration, as long as it’s merit-based. Many conservatives are concerned that too much immigration, too fast, could make it hard for the Republican party to stay viable, as Pew Research data shows that more immigrants vote Democrat than Republican, whether legal or illegal.
Many Republicans say that the party just needs more outreach to the “minority” communities and that is arguable. But the raw data does seem to show otherwise. This highlights a rift in the Republican Party that you don’t hear about on Fox News as many on the right are calling for two different immigration policies. See tweet with the video below:

NumbersUSA has a history of advocating against moderate Republicans and a few years ago it was reported by Big League Politics that then-Republican Congressman in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional, Scott Taylor called their office and threatened to “blow it up” for advocating for a primary opponent with a more hard-line immigration stance than he had. Taylor, who lost to Democrat Elaine Luria in 2018, is running to get his seat back currently, against two other Republicans, self-declared ‘America First’ candidate Jarome Bell and Ben Loyola. Bell is currently calling for a 10-year moratorium on all immigration. That primary is June 9th, 2020 of this year.
"If Mr. Trump wants to motivate his base and win a second term, he’ll need to fulfill his immigration pledges over the next eight months and continue to focus on what got him elected in the first place."https://t.co/uknqTiZBPV
