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 you’re dumb enough to actually the consider mass deportation of millions your insanely reductive and dismissive “immigration laws.”
But, as a liberal, you just might be clueless enough to not realize when America has done that, historically, who’s actually a citizen, here legally, or the guardian of a US citizen is usually a secondary concern.
