“over a third — 35 percent — of Gen Z also supports mass deportations.”
What percentage of “Gen Z” consists of people that came to or remain in America illegally, and their children?
ABOUT 7%: FAR FEWER TH AS N I WAS THINKING! WORST CASE SCENARIO- 1 IN 10.
Our government somehow doesn’t keep an official tally that specifically records illegals as a group unto themselves. Those numbers are always combined with legal immigrants who are fully naturalized to give themselves cover (im guessing). However, the statistical percentage of Generation Z that are immigrants themselves or have at least one parent that immigrated to this country- both legally or illegally- is 22%. Which is really far fewer than I was worried would be the case.
To break down the specifics in the 22% that combines legal & illegal & from what I’ve read: more than half of that group are legitimate children of legal immigrants who did it the right way (say 12 of the 22). Less than a fifth of the group are immigrants themselves born outside the US & brought here (say of 3 the 22). The remainder are the children you are asking about- born in the US to illegal immigrants (say 7 of the 22).
So, long story short & the answer to your question: 7% OF GENERATION Z ARE CHILDREN BORN IN THE USA TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT PARENTS. Still too many, but I’ll admit relief it’s not 45%- which I feared 🤣😉
