Simple. Because it's not the biggest issue to voters at a national level. We have inflation, gas and the economy in tatters. These are issues Republicans love to run on.
In marketing, you can't push 5 different messages. You need to push one, maybe two messages max.
If we started running on the wall, we would be kneecapping ourselves. The data just doesn't support this messaging right now for the midterms.
I live in NH. You can throw those numbers at me, but people in New England don't have a visceral response to immigration numbers. It's not a kitchen table issue here that we feel the effects of (even though we do, but voters can't connect the dots because they're low-info, retarded voters)
I'm a HUGE proponent of building the wall, but people don't connect the open borders with the drug problems in NH. People DO feel gas prices hitting their wallet...voters can connect those dots.
Why introduce a divisive issue that is far down on people's priority list?
The issue is the Economy. It is International Relations (Europe, China, Russia) and NOT starting a war. It is jobs, homelessness and crime. Hispanic Americans are overwhelmingly for strengthening the economy, creating more jobs, while reducing crime and homelessness. Hispanics are likely to break 60% Republican this election, if not as much as 70%. They are increasingly unhappy with Democrat policies.
Republicans should stick to the core issues for this election.
Maybe because 100,000 Americans are dying every year because there is no wall. And almost 3 million people have crossed the border illegally in the last 2 years.
I'm actually surprised that you are so offended by the question. It's not divisive. And why do you have so much faith in the upcoming midterms? Are you prepared for another steal, like I am?
Has this subverse become The Donald Part Deux, for fucks sake?
The Simon Lectures addresses this very point.
The US is woefully insolvent. The only way to make our half-trillion dollar a year debt INTEREST payments while keeping social-security afloat is to import a sub-strata of non-citizens. These third-world sub-citizens (in theory) will pay taxes but will remain ineligible for social security and other public service expenditures.
Furthermore, republicans are merely controlled opposition and they are as invested in the racket as the dems. It’s a uni-party game of musical-chairs, and they are just trying to keep the last chairs for themselves until the inevitable collapse.

Your entire comment is based upon some polling that you read. That is patently ridiculous.
It was Trump's primary issue in 2016 and he has been vindicated 100%
You know how many people crossed into the United States who are on the terror watch list this year, so far?
NINETY EIGHT
Trump's high water mark? 8 in 2018

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I can accept that.
It certainly exposes the mindset of the average American.

Kari Lake is
Because it would take a couple billion dollars away from Ukraine.

The potential downsides outweigh the upsides in terms of optics. Why give them more opportunities to take us out of context?
