Two new polls suggest that Americans broadly support the Trump administration’s deportation agenda even as “ICE Out” rages at the Grammys, though with some possible reservations about illegal aliens who have not committed other serious crimes.
The polling firm Cygnal released the results of a late January poll on Monday that shows majority support for deportations of illegal aliens. Conversely, Democratic calls to defund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and partially shut down the government over deportations are politically toxic.
“Voters see illegal immigration as a simple question of law and order,” said Cygnal founder and CEO Brent Buchanan. “The data leaves no wiggle room. Americans want the law enforced, they want illegal immigrants removed, and they punish politicians who try to block ICE from doing its job.”
