Majority of Americans Now Support Mass Deportations

Half of Americans — including 42% of Democrats — say they'd support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, according to a new Axios Vibes survey by The Harris Poll.

30% of Democrats — as well as 46% of Republicans — now say they'd end birthright citizenship, something guaranteed under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.

Americans are open to former President Trump's harshest immigration plans, spurred on by a record surge of illegal border crossings and a relentless messaging war waged by Republicans.

President Biden is keenly aware the crisis threatens his re-election. He's sought to flip the script by accusing Trump of sabotaging Congress' most conservative bipartisan immigration bill in decades.

But when it comes to blame, Biden so far has failed to shift the narrative: 32% of respondents say his administration is "most responsible" for the crisis, outranking any other political or structural factor.

Data also shows that undocumented immigrants have lower homicide conviction rates than the general public.

You mean, open to trump lies

  @Patriot-#1776Constitution from Washington disagreed…1wk1W

Advocating for a policy you happen to disagree with doesn't make it a "lie" – it makes it something you disagree with. So drop the logical fallacies and tell me why exactly you want to continue to allow our country to be invaded by criminal aliens. Can you do that for me?

 @DearL0bby1stRepublican from Texas disagreed…1wk1W

The lie was this Administration pretending there wasn't a problem for 3 and half years.

 @KeenEqu4lityDemocratfrom North Carolina commented…1wk1W

Can we trust Trump to actually follow through? I mean he deported less people than Obama.

  @Patriot-#1776Constitution from Washington disagreed…1wk1W

Why shouldn't we? It would be in his interests to follow through.

 @TermiteSamanthaRepublican from Alabama disagreed…1wk1W

I guarantee he will be better than Biden on the issue.

PS: the primary wasn't competitive.

What wrong with GEN Z and Millenials? Illegal immigration is the biggest threat to the young generations! They will be the ones suffering the consequences for decades.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1wk1W

What impact do you think mass deportations would have on communities and the country's economy?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1wk1W

If the responsibility of the immigration crisis could be placed on a single entity or individual, who would you personally hold accountable, and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1wk1W

Considering that undocumented immigrants have lower homicide conviction rates than the general public, does this information change your perspective on mass deportations?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1wk1W

Do you believe the concept of birthright citizenship should be altered, and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1wk1W

How would you feel if someone you knew and cared about was at risk of being deported due to their undocumented status?

 @SomberBuzzardConstitution from Nevada commented…1wk1W

They’re not immigrants; immigrants do things the legal way to respect the country they want to join.

These are invading foreign nationals

 @eXecutiveHannahRepublicanfrom Washington commented…1wk1W

Because it makes sense.

Nobody wants millions of undocumented migrants with no background checks, especially legal migrants, Latinos and Blacks.

They are the ones most affected when the illegals drive down wages and use up what little social provision is available.

 @S3nateChameleonPeace and Freedom from Iowa commented…1wk1W

Some states will deport all illegal aliens in their states with their law enforcement and their national guard, Congress should help the states that want to protect their citizens from criminals and terrorists since the federal government has failed to do their sworn duty.

A Harris Poll? You teamed up with Mark Penn for this ridiculousness? America is better than what is portrayed in this poll and I have no doubt a better firm would have elucidated different and more accurate results. Congrats on your clickbait.

 @MildProportionalRepublican from Washington commented…1wk1W

8 and 1/2 million people have crossed the border since Joe Biden took office, we have States many of them that don't even have a million people, this ain't going to work y'all,

 @LeopardGaryConstitution from Colorado commented…1wk1W

Yep. That's how much people HATE mass immigration: they're open to Trump again.

Liberals really know how to mess this issue up. It's basically the only reason the far right has returned to European politics, too.

 @ThrillingHousePatriot from West Virginia commented…1wk1W

If you aren’t an American or a legal immigrant, we can’t afford to have you here

It’s just math, it’s gotten so bad our inner city inhabitants are completely screwed
