Poll Watch: Half of Americans Oppose Immigrant Detention Camps

Continuing with the theme of my speech …

56% of American voters support mass deportations of illegal aliens.

36% of American voters are cool with rounding up all illegal aliens and putting them in concentration camps before deporting them en masse. 20% are squeamish about the optics.

85% of Republican voters and 61% of Independent voters are angry enough with Joe Biden’s immigration policies that they are currently willing to support what used to be a pipe dream.

62% of Republican voters are not bothered by concentration camps.

I am sharing this here and filing it under the Poll Watch tab for future reference.

Reuters:

“Some 54% of registered voters opposed the use of detention camps while 36% supported such a move and 10% said they did not know or did not respond, the poll found. Still, 56% said most or all immigrants in the U.S. illegally should be deported. …

Some 85% of Republican voters in the Reuters/Ipsos poll said most or all immigrants in the U.S. illegally should be deported, compared to 26% of Democrats and 61% of independents.

But fewer voters agreed with a statement that immigrants in the country illegally should be arrested and put in detention camps while awaiting deportation hearings.

Some 62% of registered Republican said they agreed, compared to 12% of Democrats and 35% of independents. …”

What do you do?

Do you prioritize immigration or anti-Zionism?

Earlier this afternoon, I had a conversation about this with Gregory Hood. We agreed that public opinion is fickle and that such a sweeping mandate for a draconian immigration policy might not come again. This could be our best shot to break the ice on mass deportations.

If Biden loses because of his insane immigration policy and internal divisions over Israel, this could have profound implications for the Democratic Party. It could lead to a retreat from a full embrace of open borders and an era of Clintonesque triangulation on the issue. Anger might subside.
