The Democrats have spent years blasting immigration enforcement. From Trump’s border wall to his ongoing mass deportation efforts, they have been dialing up their rhetoric way past 11 in their attempt to turn public opinion against Trump’s policies. They’ve compared ICE agents to the Gestapo, and many have even floated the idea of defunding the agency altogether.
It’s not working.
A new Cygnal poll released this week shows that Americans are nowhere near the open-borders fantasy Democrats keep pushing. In fact, they want law and order, and they support ICE by a very healthy margin.
It’s terrible news for the Democrats this year.
Six in ten voters want illegal immigrants deported — 61% in favor, compared to just 34% who oppose. A whopping 73% say crossing the border illegally is “breaking the law,” which, obviously, it is.
I bet we can guess who the other 27% voted for.
Seriously, though, that number is a reminder that despite the noise and media spin, most Americans still have a grasp on reality.
Even more telling, 58% oppose defunding ICE. That includes a majority of independents and swing voters. You know who those people are? The people who decide elections.
