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

Cause most illegal immigrants aren't from the border. Most overstay their visa.

I know that, and you know that. But the dumb fucks watching Fox and CNN are willfully ignorant

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