More than half of all Americans, including a quarter of Democrats, support the mass deportation of immigrants who are living in the country illegally, a new poll found.
The Scripps News/Ipsos survey’s findings come as former President Trump and his allies have intensely focused on immigration in the 2024 election cycle.
About 54 percent of respondents — 86 percent of Republicans, 58 percent of independents and 25 percent of Democrats — said they “strongly” or “somewhat” support a wide-scale effort to deport millions of immigrants, and 59 percent said they are closely following the “immigration situation at the U.S.-Mexico border.”
That is fucking terrifying.
It doesn’t matter if half the country wants something if it is unconstitutional.
Have you met SCOTUS?
They have enabled all sorts of unconstitutional things in the last few years, so I don’t expect them to stop. Doesn’t mean it’s not unconstitutional.
That does mean that your first statement is called into question, though. Whether or not some right-wing fantasy is unconstitutional does not mean it cannot happen, as you accept.****
