Mentions of Immigration as Top Problem Surpass Record High “After hitting a new high last month, mentions of immigration as the most important problem facing the U.S. increased further to 27% in July,” Jeffrey Jones writes for Gallup. As Jones explains, that number is historically significant. “Gallup has asked the ‘most important problem’ question since 1939, and has done so on a monthly basis since March 2001. Over the past 19 years, only five other issues have been mentioned at some point by at least the 27% who named immigration this month.” “Immigration is likely to remain a top issue for Americans, particularly at points when large numbers of immigrants or asylum seekers are attempting to enter the country illegally.” Click here to read more.

“There’s nothing like a celebrity guest to boost a flagging TV show, and House Democrats are hoping Robert Mueller’s congressional performance this week revives their impeachment ratings. Yet if the former special counsel stays true to his own investigation and report, this episode will be the last,” The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes.

The summary of the report has already been released by the attorney general and then the report itself by Mueller and the unredacted version has been available for lawmakers to see for months,” the Boston Herald editorial board writes. “Now, during this rerun of a rerun of a rerun, Democrats are hoping a disinterested public will finally become outraged and begin the chant for impeachment. They won’t.”
