I read Wikipedia and it says a majority of Americans actually support “deporting all ‘illegal immigrants’”. Is this actually true?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation_in_the_second_presidency_of_Donald_Trump
At the time of his first campaign, approximately one-third of Americans supported the idea – but by the start of his second term, eight years later, public opinion had undergone a shift, with a majority of Americans believing all illegal immigrants should be deported. By April 2025, slightly over half of Americans felt the level of deportations went “too far”.
(Of course, people say it went “too far” after they already voted this fucker into office.)

My brother who is a legal immigrant and naturalized citizen, actually voted harris in 2024, but doesn’t seem to be bothered by the mass deportations, even though he hates trump.
It this actually a common sentinment amongst Americans?
It’s even stupider with the attack on universities. We’ve always benefited from a “brain drain” from other countries where many of the best and brightest come here for an education, and some of them stay no to build companies, improve our science and technology.
We’re not just attacking immigrants who make our country great, drive the economy, and offset declining birth rates, but we’re specifically attacking those who are legal and might improve science, technology, innovation.
