“And they are much more skeptical of the very idea of having immigration limits, whereas the public - again, independents and Democrats, as well as Republicans, although not necessarily all in the same proportions - have a much stronger sense of the American government and American law having responsibility to Americans specifically rather than to people around the world. So the polarization is up versus down, not really right versus left.” PeopleWorldWellsIdeasGovernmentLawLeftResponsibilityRepublicanLimitsStrongerDemocratImmigrationAround The WorldProportionVersusSkepticalAmerican GovernmentPolarizationAmerican Law Author:Mark Krikorian
