More than half of Americans — including a hefty 42% of Democrats — back mass deportations of illegal immigrants as President Biden’s border crisis rages on, a new poll shows.
Fifty-one percent of those polled said they would support booting the undocumented immigrants, according to the Axios Vibes survey by the Harris Poll released Thursday.
In addition, a large number — 30% of Democrats and 46% of Republicans — signaled support for ending birthright citizenship, which is guaranteed under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.
Asked what their greatest fear was surrounding illegal immigrants, 21% of those surveyed cited surging crime rates, drugs and violence as their main concern.
Meanwhile, 32% said the Biden administration was “most responsible” for the current border crisis that’s plaguing the country.
“I was surprised at the public support for large-scale deportations,” said Mark Penn, chairman of the Harris Poll.
