Over 60 Percent Of Independents Support Deporting Illegal Immigrants, Poll Finds

Over 60 percent of Independents believe that we should deport most or all illegal immigrants currently present in the United States, a recent poll found.

The poll from Reuters/Ipsos found that a solid majority of independents are in favor of the policy, with 61 percent indicating that they believe the United States should deport illegal immigrants. The policy garnered the support of an even larger share of registered Republicans, 85 percent of whom said they are in favor of deporting most or all of the illegal immigrants present in the United States.

Mass deportations have become a key campaign promise from former Republican President Donald Trump and his allies have set out to craft executive orders and policies to prepare for a wider immigration crackdown.
