Four New Polls Show What Americans Really Think About Mass Deportations

Despite what liberal media and Democrat leaders claim, most Americans back mass deportations and tougher border security. Recent polling shows overwhelming public support that runs counter to the Left’s open-border narrative.

Key Facts:

Congressional Democrats criticized a reconciliation package that included more funding for ICE and permanent Trump-era tax cuts.
Democrats claim mass deportations are unpopular, especially among their online activist base.
Polling averages from NYT, CBS News, ABC News, and Marquette show 58% of Americans support mass deportations.
CNN’s Harry Enten noted consistent poll results showing strong backing for deportation policies.
Legal immigrant voters have shifted 40 points toward Republicans in recent elections.

The Rest of The Story:

A recent reconciliation bill, which included making the Trump tax cuts permanent and boosting funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), triggered intense backlash from congressional Democrats.

While they expressed outrage over the tax provisions, their strongest objections were aimed at the enhanced border enforcement measures.

Democrats and many in left-wing media argue that policies like mass deportations are broadly unpopular.

However, polling data says otherwise.

When averaging results from several major outlets—The New York Times, Marquette, CBS, and ABC—about 58% of Americans support mass deportations.

CNN’s own Harry Enten even acknowledged the consistency in public opinion across different surveys.

The backlash against Democrats’ assumptions isn’t limited to polling data.

Shifts among immigrant citizens show significant political realignment, with a reported 40-point swing toward the GOP.

The American public appears to want more ICE raids, a secure border, and decisive immigration enforcement.

Happy Independence Day!

Commentary:

The only people who ever believed Americans opposed mass deportations are those sealed inside the echo chambers of elite liberal media.

For years, open-border advocates pushed a fantasy that the public would embrace chaos if it came wrapped in buzzwords like “compassion” and “inclusivity.”

But the facts say otherwise. The truth is, open borders were never a popular policy. Americans, by and large, want their laws enforced.

They understand the difference between legal immigration and lawless invasion.

And when hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars are spent providing housing, education, and healthcare to illegal immigrants while crime rises and wages stagnate, people notice.

That reality is now reflected clearly in polling data—even outlets that typically tilt left are forced to admit it.

When CNN starts reporting that mass deportations have majority support, you know the dam has broken. The data’s not an outlier—it’s a trend.

The Left’s obsession with expanding their political base through illegal immigration has blinded them to the political backlash building under their feet.

American citizens, including many immigrants who played by the rules, are saying “enough.”

They want security, sanity, and sovereignty restored. Democrats have learned nothing from recent elections.

The backlash that propelled Trump back into office is only intensifying.

Every time Democrats block common-sense immigration policies or defend sanctuary cities, they alienate more voters, including working-class minorities and immigrants themselves.

And they’re doubling down instead of course-correcting. If this continues, the next round of elections—particularly the midterms—could bring an even bigger reckoning.

People vote when they feel unheard, and right now millions of Americans are shouting to secure the border and restore the rule of law.
