“Isn’t it obvious that I watch Fox?” quipped Gansz, who said she watches the conservative channel almost daily, including the top-rated Fox News Channel program “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” a major proponent of those ideas.

But the deep anxieties expressed by some Americans help explain how the issue energizes those opposed to immigration.
