So before the death of the protester everyone was honky dori with the deportations? It’s understood ~60-ish percent of the pop want all aliens deported not only criminal aliens, but there is a large minority that only want criminal aliens deported and a much smaller militant minority that don’t want any illegal aliens deported regardless of severity of crimes committed.
- SetTheorist 9mo agoIt is absolutely not the case that 60% of the population wants all non-citizens deported. On what do you base your claim?
- giancarlostoro 9mo agoProbably based on Trump winning the last presidential election. Which doesnt tell us if thats the only reason they voted for him or the primary, but some people just generalize every vote as such.

- mc32 9mo agoCheck CNN polling. It’s been pretty consistent over the last year or two: 56% to 62% of Americans support the deportation of all immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, according to various surveys from late 2025 and early 2026, including data often discussed in connection with CNN analysis and other outlets.
- Jtsummers 9mo agoYour original claim: > It’s understood ~60-ish percent of the pop want all aliens deported not only criminal aliens Your "evidence": > 56% to 62% of Americans support the deportation of all immigrants living in the U.S. illegally [emphasis added] You do realize that the polling does not support your original claim, right? That "illegally" bit is rather critical and, notably, missing in your original statement.
- mc32 9mo agoThe subject is people who entered illegally or have remained past their visas. Illegal aliens under federal law. Outside of kooks, no one wants to deport legal residents. They may want to limit some form of migration but that’s not the question and that’s not what ICE are concerned with. It’s not even in their scope in any way.
- Jtsummers 9mo ago> Outside of kooks, no one wants to deport legal residents. I agree, but that's not what you wrote in your original comment and were asked to defend and then failed to defend. You claimed that 60% of the population wants all aliens deported. The word "all" there means your claim included legal residents. Now you're backpedaling, I guess.
- mc32 9mo agoIf you read further down you see I reference illegal aliens. Thats the jist.
- Jtsummers 9mo agoThat's not what you wrote, though. You wrote: > ~60-ish percent of the pop want all aliens deported not only criminal aliens That statement covers both illegal and legal aliens. Do you not know what the words you wrote mean? Why are you lying about your words that are plainly visible on this page if you do know what they mean?
