I read Wikipedia and it says a majority of Americans actually support “deporting all ‘illegal immigrants’”. Is this actually true?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation_in_the_second_presidency_of_Donald_Trump

At the time of his first campaign, approximately one-third of Americans supported the idea – but by the start of his second term, eight years later, public opinion had undergone a shift, with a majority of Americans believing all illegal immigrants should be deported. By April 2025, slightly over half of Americans felt the level of deportations went “too far”.

(Of course, people say it went “too far” after they already voted this fucker into office.)

My brother who is a legal immigrant and naturalized citizen, actually voted harris in 2024, but doesn’t seem to be bothered by the mass deportations, even though he hates trump.

It this actually a common sentinment amongst Americans?

    I think recent Gallup and CNN polls shows about every 2 out of 3 Americans approve Trumps immigration policy and currently has a +1 favorably rating. The same polls showed his economic policies to be favored by more than 17% more than democrats. The fact republicans are stomping democrats, and democrats keep doubling down on failed ideas is astounding. Let any blue collar worker from the Midwest run the DNC and we would win every election in a landslide, but instead we insult men and push identity politics that even minorities don’t want.
