51% : CNN has reported that the new executive actions were written "carefully and deliberately" to try to withstand expected legal challenges, a lesson that Trump learned from his previous term when his then hastily published orders were challenged in court, with some success.

23% : Despite the expanded asylum ban and Ottawa's new border surveillance and enforcement effort to appease Trump -- who has threatened crippling tariffs -- desperate migrants won't be deterred because they are not going to return to the Global South, said immigration lawyer Chantal Desloges.
