Quote:In a recent episode of CBS’s Face the Nation, host Margaret Brennan was left dumbfounded when discussing the results of a new poll that showed 62% of registered voters support deporting all illegal immigrants.
The poll, conducted by Harvard-Harris and released last week, asked respondents if they believe that all illegal immigrants should be deported or allowed to stay in the U.S. with a pathway to citizenship.
The majority, including 66% of independents and 87% of Republicans, chose deportation.
Brennan expressed her disbelief at these numbers, stating, “I mean this is really striking because we’ve seen so much coverage over the past few years about how hardline immigration policies are not popular with most Americans.”
Contrary to what many mainstream media outlets have been reporting, it seems that a significant portion of Americans do support stricter immigration policies.
And this sentiment is not limited to just one political party. The poll also found that 55% of Democrats support deportation over granting citizenship.
This may come as a surprise to those who have been following the narrative pushed by some politicians and media outlets that portray stricter immigration policies as being inhumane and unpopular.
But for many right-leaning Americans, this poll simply confirms what they have been saying all along – enforcing our immigration laws is necessary to protect our country and its citizens.
One possible explanation for this shift in public opinion could be the recent surge in illegal border crossings and the resulting strain on resources at the southern border.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, there were over 178,000 apprehensions at the border in April alone, the highest number in over two decades.
This influx of illegal immigrants has also raised concerns about public safety and national security. The poll found that 67% of respondents believe that illegal immigration increases crime rates and poses a threat to national security.
These findings are not surprising to many conservative Americans who have been calling for stronger border security measures for years. And with the current administration’s more lenient approach to immigration, it seems that their fears may be coming true.
But despite this growing support for stricter immigration policies, there are still those who vehemently oppose any form of deportation.
In fact, Brennan herself seemed to struggle with accepting the results of the poll, stating “I’m just dumbfounded by these numbers.”
This sentiment is echoed by many on the left who argue that deporting all illegal immigrants would be cruel and unjust. However, as this poll shows, there is a significant portion of the American population who do not share this view.
And while some may dismiss these results as being influenced by partisan politics or biased questioning, it is worth noting that Harvard-Harris is considered a reputable polling organization and has been used by both Democrats and Republicans in the past.
