Many Trump supporters are also enthusiastic about his immigration reform plan, which would include deporting millions of undocumented immigrants.
“We gathered in World War II all the Japanese and put them in camps. … It’s appropriate today to do to the Muslims, same way,” said David Brooks, 67, a former owner of a paving company. “And anybody that don’t like it, liberals can get the hell out. I’d close every mosque in this country.”
But even on Trump’s central policy issue, there are some deep-seated doubts among some of his backers.
“I think his policy on immigration might be a little bit misguided in some instances,” said Shane Jampole, 17, who said he plans to support Trump. “There’s a lot of people who have migrated to America and live in this general area. My grandpa, his parents were immigrants. It’s just the way it is. We need immigrants to keep America the melting pot that it is.”
