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.
This reminds me of the UK’s shelved(?) plan to detain refugees and deport them to Rwanda. I don’t just mean people who have come from Rwanda, I mean everyone, just using Rwanda for people storage. If it wasn’t such a dark topic, I’d say the whole thing was slapstick, both in it’s original conception and attempted implementation.
Close enough, welcome back Australia
