More than half of all Americans, including a quarter of Democrats, support the mass deportation of immigrants who are living in the country illegally, a new poll found.
The Scripps News/Ipsos survey’s findings come as former President Trump and his allies have intensely focused on immigration in the 2024 election cycle.
About 54 percent of respondents — 86 percent of Republicans, 58 percent of independents and 25 percent of Democrats — said they “strongly” or “somewhat” support a wide-scale effort to deport millions of immigrants, and 59 percent said they are closely following the “immigration situation at the U.S.-Mexico border.”
That is fucking terrifying.
I don’t think this has anything to do with covid. Trump’s entire 2016 campaign was about building a border wall, and Fox cranks up the border talk leading up to every single election cycle.
Tell that to Biden, who’s kept Trump’s rule about keeping people out using the pandemic as a pretense long after he declared the pandemic over.
