According to a recent study, 42% of Democrats and more than half of Americans favor deporting large numbers of illegal immigrants.
Fifty-one percent of respondents to a Harris Poll Axios Vibes study said they would be in favor of deporting illegal immigrants because they have used taxpayer-funded resources that should have gone toward helping the country’s veterans and homeless.
Additionally, according to the research, 46% of Republicans and 30% of Democrats said they supported removing the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship.
“Crime rates, drugs, and violence” were the top three concerns that respondents had about illegal immigration, according to 21% of pollsters.
Furthermore, according to 32% of respondents, the Biden administration has “most responsibility” for the present border conflict between the United States and Mexico.
The public’s support for widespread deportations startled Mark Penn, head of the Harris Poll. “Get this under control, politicians,” he urged, interpreting their actions as a signal to Biden that his attempts to assign blame for the problem to former President Donald Trump would not succeed.
Since Biden assumed office, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has reportedly met nearly 7 million illegal immigrants along the southern border. Additionally, the statistics indicated that 961,537 encounters have occurred in the current fiscal year.
Even though Biden’s open border policy and the suspension of Title 42 contributed to the problem, Biden has responded to the criticism by placing the responsibility on former President Trump.
To ensure that no more American citizens must experience abuse, murder, or drug trafficking at the hands of illegal foreigners bringing fentanyl from China and Mexico—as was the case with former Georgia nursing student Laken Riley—Trump has made it plain that if re-elected, he will crack down on the issue at the border.
With a 95% confidence level, the Harris Poll polled 6,251 American adults in March and April, with results within plus or minus 1.5 percentage points.
