Summary
An Axios-Ipsos poll shows that while two-thirds of Americans, including 93% of Republicans, support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, support declines when specific methods are proposed.
Only 38% favor using active-duty military, 28% back diverting military funds, and just one-third support separating families or deporting those who arrived as children.
Trump’s plans for mass deportations face logistical, economic, and public opinion challenges.
Experts note abstract support for deportations fades when Americans confront the complexities of implementation.
Fervently Supporting a thing you wouldn’t support if you just gave a little critical thought to the matter feels uniquely American.
Only because you’re prejudiced.
And doubly republican.
Brexit says it’s not just America.
Willful ignorance is a universal “value”. America is just ahead of the curve, at the moment. Counting out other countries is just prejudice.
