Summary

An Axios-Ipsos poll shows that while two-thirds of Americans, including 93% of Republicans, support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, support declines when specific methods are proposed.

Only 38% favor using active-duty military, 28% back diverting military funds, and just one-third support separating families or deporting those who arrived as children.

Trump’s plans for mass deportations face logistical, economic, and public opinion challenges.

Experts note abstract support for deportations fades when Americans confront the complexities of implementation.

    I get why you’re being downvoted, but a lot of people seem to be ignoring that the US still has top tier secondary education, numerous job opportunities, and is still a major global player. On top of that the US is a very diverse country. However much we may struggle with racism and societal issues, there are large populations of people from every region/religion/language.
