Amid President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration – delivering on one of voters’ top concerns in 2024 – elected Democrats and the corporate “news” media have attempted to portray the administration’s enforcement efforts as chaotic, brutal, and unpopular. But the sensationalist headlines intentionally misrepresent that immigration enforcement remains popular among the American people, even as a dishonest press invents one hoax after another to smear and defame Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
A year ago, an AP/NORC poll found the following:
The vast majority of adults favor deporting immigrants living in the United States illegally who have been convicted of a violent crime, including 65% who strongly favor the policy and 18% who somewhat favor it. There is also broad support among people across the political spectrum with majorities of Democrats (79%) and Republicans (89%) in support.
Twelve months on, the latest Harvard-Harris CAPS poll found that 80% of respondents want illegal aliens who commit crimes deported and 54% want all illegal aliens deported regardless of criminal activity. This finding should be headline news, but partisan newsrooms would rather you don’t hear about it.
