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.

    Because if you still watch TV news it’s literally all they talk about like it’s somehow a real problem. They constantly describe millions of dirty immigrants pouring over the border wall, and yet never show a video or images of this

      not to mention, as if any Americans actually want to do the jobs that undocumented immigrants are doing for us.
