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.
As a policy I don’t answer the phone with an unknown number from any area code except my work HQ, I don’t answer the door for anyone that looks like they are paid to be there, I don’t open mail if there’s any hint it might be a mass mailer. At the end of the day, no matter what methodology they use, they are always going to get a bias from people who are willing to participate and be contactable.
