Enten said that in four separate polls taken in the last month, a majority of Americans said that they would support the deportation of all immigrants who are illegally in the U.S. A New York Times poll found 55% supported deportation, 64% in a Marquette poll, 57% in a CBS News poll, and 56% said the same in an ABC News poll.
Deportation of illegal immigrants is the default position for most people.
“So what you’re seeing essentially here is a very clear indication that a majority of Americans, in fact when they’re asked this blunt question which I believe gets at the underlying feelings, do in fact want to deport all immigrants who are here illegally,” Enten concluded. “There’s no arguing with these different numbers because they’re all essentially the same across four different pollsters!”
