It is absolutely not the case that 60% of the population wants all non-citizens deported. On what do you base your claim?

Probably based on Trump winning the last presidential election. Which doesnt tell us if thats the only reason they voted for him or the primary, but some people just generalize every vote as such.

Check CNN polling. It’s been pretty consistent over the last year or two: 56% to 62% of Americans support the deportation of all immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, according to various surveys from late 2025 and early 2026, including data often discussed in connection with CNN analysis and other outlets.

  Your original claim: > It’s understood ~60-ish percent of the pop want all aliens deported not only criminal aliens Your "evidence": > 56% to 62% of Americans support the deportation of all immigrants living in the U.S. illegally [emphasis added] You do realize that the polling does not support your original claim, right? That "illegally" bit is rather critical and, notably, missing in your original statement.

    The subject is people who entered illegally or have remained past their visas. Illegal aliens under federal law. Outside of kooks, no one wants to deport legal residents. They may want to limit some form of migration but that’s not the question and that’s not what ICE are concerned with. It’s not even in their scope in any way.

      A common technique used by illegal immigration sympathizers is to artfully conflate the two for argument's sake.

        A common technique used by racists is to pretend they are only care about illegal immigration.

        Which is interesting when coupled with the fact that the people enthusiastically carrying that out is CBP agents (the people that murdered Pretti) at 50% latino/hispanic, and ICE also disproportionately latino. Why are minorities so overrepresented in the racist forces?

        "Murder" is a very specific form of homicide and is both legally and morally unlikely to be the correct term here.

        Ok. Homicidal racist forces, disproportionately manned by minorities, who want to stomp on other minorities.

        Imagine waiting in line for a decade, going through a grueling process, following the rules and immigrating legally, only to show up and see hordes of criminal invaders who thought they were exempt from the same.
