Immigration: When Donald Trump proposed mandatory deportation of illegal aliens, pundits and politicians on both sides of the political aisle were appalled. But on this issue it looks like Trump has the public on his side.
The fire from the right was almost as fierce as that from the left. "It's not conservative and it's not realistic and it does not embrace American values," said Jeb Bush.
Sen. Lindsey Graham called it "absolute gibberish."
Conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer called the idea "crackpot" and "morally obscene."
But the prize for overheated rhetoric goes to Hillary Clinton, who said Trump wants to "literally pull people out of their homes and their workplaces, round them up, put them, I don't know, in buses, boxcars, in order to take them across our border."
So what do these folks say about the fact that the majority of Americans back Trump on this?
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.
Even among Hispanics, the poll found 40% backed mandatory deportation

Yes but what was the percentage outside Hispanic neighborhoods?
Heh heh heh...
I have a co-worker that’s a lesbian and a frothing at the mouth far left barking moonbat. She collected signatures for the Oregon ballot measure that prevented Illegals from getting Oregon drivers licenses.
The measure passed in the peoples republic of Oregon by over 60%.
Make America Great Again!
Deport illegals!
Expel muslims!
Shocking that it is only 59%
The other 41% are illegals.
Just a bleeping second....they're not on "the right"..they're RINOs.
I missed the “shock” part
See tagline...
Give them each day, their daily beating.
We could hire the Mexicans to do it! (in prison)
Fantastic
[Mandatory deportation gets majority support in all age groups except 18-24]
The beheadable millenials who gave us barak shallowbama are suicidal.
NO, they`ll self deport. Just make it illegal and financially crippling to employ them and for them to get any goobermint ‘gi`me dat’, freebies.
Oh, brother.
I was going to post Wow that is shocking, how can it be only 59%...
But then I read your post, and after LOLing, yep, you’re right :D
...“Democrats have opened our borders to all manner of horrific Third World violence, crime, and disease. The GOP has supported and endorsed this vile activity every single step of the way. Trump has tapped into the fury of the American people over the unrelenting anti-American NWO push of our paid employees in government. Trump could win this on this one issue alone. Americans are tired of being betrayed by their government on both sides of the aisle.”...
Why pay to do it? Just dry up the employment and freebie swamp, then they`ll mostly self deport. The remainder are criminals that can be handled like any other criminals, before mandatory deportation.
Fox News doesn’t represent America much less its Conservatives.
We need a conservative channel on Cable.
F is for Fox
No shock, a few years ago it was 80%
