Morning Plum: Big majority of GOP voters favors mass deportation, poll finds

This new poll finding, courtesy of CNN, is not all that surprising, but it is very illuminating of the demographic challenges the GOP faces right now: A big majority of Republicans believes that the government’s main focus on immigration should be not just on stopping the flow of illegal immigrants, but also on deporting those already here.

The poll asks:

Lets start with you.

Good one! Who knows, he/she could likely be here illegally.

His comment about Irish is one of the most disgusting comments I have ready in months.

[sand88]

Little known, but the same is true in San Francisco. Next to Hispanics the next largest group of people here illegally are Irish. I thought it would be Asian but a buddy who works for La Migra schooled me. 100% of the Irish are visa overstays and they are primarily concentrated in the Richmond District

LOL, Irish illegals are what, 1% of all illegals?

ALL illegals should go. The most destructive problem is from Spanish speaking 3rd worlders -- they are here NOT to become Americans. They are here to destroy our Republic as founded.

They are very anti-English, very anti-capitalistic and very anti-American.

The Irish aren't here to change America into a socialist 3rd world sewer. However, if we don't somehow remove the vast majority of illegal 3rd worlders from our Republic, America as founded will be utterly destroyed.

Somebody send this to Trump Headquarters.

Agree 100%. I have hired them for casual labor in the past. If you need manual labor Hispanics work harder and complain less.

[Norm Lenhart]

Trump is pro illegal if ‘they work hard’.

[bigredkitty1]

A lot of common sense. Build it...and they will not come.

[MeganC]

Count me in as one of the Republicans supporting the mass deportation of all illegal aliens including the ones from China, Africa, Canada, and etc.

They’re all criminals and none of them belong here!

$2.75 B, but your point is still valid and very doable.

$2.75 B, but your point is still valid and very doable.

Thanks for the correction.

I think we'd all agree it's $2.75 billion dollars extremely well spent and the ROI on doing it is almost incalculable it would be so high.

[Tucker39]

I’m not sure. In ANY case, he needs to see what the American PEOPLE think. That’s why I asked that someone send that article to Trump Headquarters.

[Carry_Okie]

Dry up the jobs government freebies and they will have to leave the same way they came.

Fixed.

It works too.

[Monorprise]

It is amazing how hard down on the left the News Media has come even adopting their language of ‘undocumented’ in-favor of illegal alien as if it were simply a matter of documentation rather than cutting in line.

Perhaps we should all start cutting inline in front of liberals and just telling them we are ‘undocumented’ in front of them.

[Lil Flower]

He’ll jump in line with McCain and call us crazies.

I won’t the illegals out of here, yesterday! Every. Last. One. Of. Them.

And I don’t care if it does makes Jebbie boy cry.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

This was once official policy. During the Eisenhower administration they had, and I kid you not, "Operation Wetback" that did exactly this.

It's also fascinating to read that this program was instituted with the cooperation and at the behest of the Mexican government who actually wanted to stop laborers from leaving to the U.S.
