President Donald Trump’s approval rating on immigration has dipped because of “false media” reporting, says border czar Tom Homan.

“The bottom line is, I looked it up, 70% of everybody we arrested has a criminal history, and I told you, the other 30% are national security threats,” he added.
“Most national security threats don’t have a criminal history. They’re lying low. A lot of gang members don’t have criminal histories. And the others, the non-criminals, everybody arrested in the country illegally, that’s not OK. It’s not OK to be in this country illegally.”
According to Real Clear Politics, 51.8% disapprove of the way Trump is handling immigration, compared with 45.2% who approve.

The three-day poll, which closed on Monday, surveyed 1,023 U.S. adults nationwide and had a margin of error of 3 percentage points. It showed a nation deeply polarized over Trump, with 83% of Republicans and just 3% of Democrats approving of his performance. About one-third of independents approved.
