Poll reveals huge majority support mandatory deporting of illegals
American Thinker ^ | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 09/01/2015 5:40:15 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

The headline from Investor’s Business Daily on their own poll uses the word “shock” – “Shock Poll: 59% Back Trump On Deportation of Illegals.” But as Jared Peterson wrote on these pages yesterday, for the last two years Rasmussen polling has demonstrated a huge gap between the overwhelming majority of Americans and the political establishment of the GOP on immigration policy. The IBD polling, which mentions mandatory deportation, reinforces this stunning disconnect between politicians and the people they supposedly serve, a chasm that Donald Trump has spotted and used to his huge advantage. IBD editorializes:

The latest IBD/TIPP Poll asked 913 adults coast to coast if they "support or oppose mandatory deportation of illegal immigrants in the U.S." Not surprisingly, 87% of Trump supporters back the proposal.

What's surprising is that 59% of the overall public does as well. Mandatory deportation gets majority support in all age groups except 18-24, every income group, among both women and men, at every level of educational achievement, and in rural, urban and suburban regions.

More interesting still is the fact that 64% of independents and 55% of moderates support deportation.

This is significant, in that it shows a lot of democrats think that Trump is right. If (big if) this translates to votes, Trump would win the general election in an historic land slide.

I don't know why they're shocked - well, I can guess. Every single person I have talked to in the last several years - even some people that lean towards the lib side - they have all said they want the illegals out of the Country.

As for that guess... The liberal elite exist in this cloistered, fanciful, incestuous world. They really only accept ideas from each other that align with their own ideas and ideals. They've spun themselves so far away from reality that when something like this comes along that is obvious to you and me...they find it "shocking." {snort}

Here's another shocker for you libtards and any lib lurkers out there. We routinely get great laughs at your idiocy. Not laughing with you, laughing at you. You are so amazingly out-of-touch in your self-aggrandizing, quasi-intellectual world you can't even comprehend how foolish you look/sound to the rest of us. Keep it up though, entertainment is where you find it.

“asked 913 adults coast to coast “

And the fact their usual liberal bastions of reliable push polling turned against the current truth is what shocked the pollsters so thoroughly.

I noticed one of the Republican debates will be hosted by Telemundo. Will John Ellis speak Spanish?

Simply enforcing the laws against the hiring of illegals would go a long ways towards removing a large proportion of the illegals.. Some physical force will be necessary and citizens should be trained in picking them up.

Will Reince Priebus, Paul Ryan, Lindsay Grahamnesty, Jebbie Bush, Juan McCain, John Kasich, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio, and Jeff Flake run with this?

I wouldn’t be surprised if widespread dissemination of this poll caused some of the illegals to self-deport.

So, a majority of Americans support enforcing our laws.

I highly doubt that all legal US citizens who immigrated from Mexico are in favor of amnesty and allowing illegal immigration. On the other hand, those who came here illegally and who are now voters (e.g. citizenship via previous amnesty, illegal voting, etc.) are going to support the party that supports illegal immigration. No one should become a US voter via this route.

Ending remittances would work even faster. End welfare of all kinds for illegals and their anchor babies and watch them self deport. The howls from the governments of the various coun tries from which these scofflaws come would be music to my ears.

This is taking me back to the early 70's when Norman Lear and the Leftists running CBS thought they were pulling a good one over on America, foisting weekly propaganda into our living rooms with the highly rated All in the Family

Only to start crapping their pants when they realized that 83% were watching because they agreed with Archie.
