fervor in northern virginia. virginia is unique in terms of its anti-trump fervor. the head wind that was going up against were just impossible. i do think the immigration in most places and even in virginia that argument is a very good fight. donald trump is more in line with voters. i would argue, if you look at polling on even legal immigration not to mention illegal immigration, but if you look at extensive well done polls, donald trump is far more in line with the american people than either party. republicans or democrats. even republicans generally in most of the senate and many in the house are not kneel far enough to the right to be in line with the american voters. so i think it's a very good issue for donald trump. i think that the fact that he's completely unflinching and willing to wade -- >> dana: not only that. let me interrupt you there. we have this sound from the president. let's show you how committed he is. watch. >> if we don't change the legislation, if we don't get rid of loopholes where ki
