Democrats won't listen to Harvard. Maybe they'll listen to the New York Times?
This entire year, Democrats from Los Angeles to Chicago to Portland to Boston have gone all-in against increased immigration enforcement. They have ginned up violent activists to attack ICE agents serving judicial warrants to deport known criminal illegal aliens. The elite cognoscenti have cast Donald Trump as Hitler and federal agents as brownshirts for enforcing the law -- and they have expected to get the American electorate behind them as a result of their hysteria.
Nine months into the process, voters refuse to budge. A new poll from the NYT and Siena University show a clear majority in favor of deporting illegal aliens, and even a small but significant slice of Democrats agree:
Since Mr. Trump returned to power, his administration has enacted a new travel ban, sought to pull temporary humanitarian protections from hundreds of thousands of people, flown immigrants to countries where they are not from and deployed federal law enforcement officers to Chicago, Washington, D.C., and other major cities in a made-for-TV show of force to combat crime and illegal immigration.
In that time, the share of registered voters who favor deporting immigrants living in the country illegally — 54 percent — has remained unchanged.
More than 90 percent of Republicans, 52 percent of independents and nearly 20 percent of Democrats continue to broadly support the idea of deporting those here illegally.
The demos on this question are pretty devastating even outside of partisan affiliation. Overall, approval of deporting illegal aliens -- without the "criminal" qualifier, no less -- gets 54/42 approval. Among the age demos, only voters under 30 oppose it, 34/61. Voters between 30-44 slightly approve, 49/47, but voters between 45-64 and over 65 approve overwhelmingly, 62/36 and 61/36, respectively. Voters in every region but the West (47/50) approve, especially the South (61/36) and Midwest (49/47). Twenty percent of Kamala Harris voters approve of deportations, and even 24% of those who disapprove of Trump support deportations. Even college graduates are evenly split, 49/50, while non-college graduates strongly favor deportations, 57/38.
Not only do respondents largely support the process, they also aren't buying the "mistaken identity" claims that Democrats and the Protection Racket Media keep trying to push:
More specifically, 51 percent said they thought the government was deporting mostly people who “should be deported,” while 42 percent said the government was deporting the wrong people.
Just in case one thinks that Siena mistakenly oversampled MAGA voters, here are a few other results of this poll:
In other words, this isn't an outlier sample. Trump gets a 43/54 job approval rating too, roughly in line with other polling (45/42 at RCP), although Dems only get a +2 on the generic ballot, 49/47 (46/43.1 at RCP). There is no reason to think that the NYT/Siena poll has missed the mark on these questions, especially since immigration is practically the only positive result for Trump within it.
And of course, this is what the Harvard-Harris CAPS poll has shown all along. Their latest iteration asks the deportation two different ways, and majorities have sided with Trump in both instances all year. The latest iteration is no exception:
Plus, these are the results from the Harvard-Harris CAPS poll on related questions:
The American people keep telling Democrats what they want. Democrats keep lecturing the American electorate on what they should want. That's how they painted themselves into a fringe corner, and their support for violent protests to stop what voters demand will only keep painting themselves into tighter and tighter corners.

Deport the criminals. They shouldn’t be here anyway. And quit calling them migrants. That’s legitimizing criminals. That bugs me to no end when the mainstream media & the demoncRATS call them “migrants” when they’re illegal and criminals.
Clearly, 10% of Republicans, 80% of the American Communist Party members, and 48% of the Independents need serious rehabilitation...
Traitors who support the invasion of the United States by diseased migrant scum need to lose their driver's licenses and suffer IRS audits annually until they get their heads straight...
Overwhelming majorities of Americans, including Hispanics, have always opposed illegal immigration.
But democrats bring them in anyway, because they are a vile party of thugs.
But the rest of the people think it’s just fine to keep them here, pay for their housing, food, dental care, medical care and other expenses forever as they decide on new crimes to commit?
Or if not deported but guilty then build hundreds of new prisons to be visited and criticized by the Van Hollen and AOC types on fact finding tours of the correctional system?
That actually is he socialist-Communist attitude since it leads to a breakdown of the American system.
Or when they call them “immigrants” and purposely leave off the word “illegal.”
Blame for the shutdown: 19% on Congressional Dems, 26% on Trump & GOP
I hate this one most. Yes we have the trifecta, but need 60 votes in the Senate!
