Are Americans warming to mass deportations?
According to a new poll from Axios, more Americans than ever are coming around to the idea of mass deportations for illegal migrants — a big policy promise of former President Donald Trump.
According to the poll, half of Americans — including 42% of Democrats — are with Trump on the issue. And 30% of Democrats — as well as 46% of Republicans — now say they’d end birthright citizenship
32% said the Biden administration was “most responsible” for the current border crisis.
“I was surprised at the public support for large-scale deportations,” said Mark Penn, chairman of the Harris Poll.
“I think they’re just sending a message to politicians: ‘Get this under control,’” he said, noting that it was a warning to Biden that “efforts to shift responsibility for the issue to [former President Donald] Trump are not going to work.”
