Americans Want to See Illegal Immigrants Sent Packing
In stark contrast to the idea that America is currently undergoing a schism when it comes to illegal immigration, an Economist/YouGov.com joint poll shows that the majority of Americans are quite clear on what should happen – the immigrants should be sent home immediately. According to the poll, 81 percent of respondents believe the immigration crisis occurring at the U.S. – Mexico border is a serious issue and practically that many Americans (77%) would like to see the illegals sent home.
What’s more, the survey makes it clear that Americans aren’t being cold, racist, and hateful in their wish to see the immigrants returned to their home countries, contrary to what many in the far left seem to think. Indeed, 66% of Americans expressed deep sympathy for the plight of unaccompanied children who have fled the disastrous conditions of their birth. Not even the well-known violent situations in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, however, are enough to inspire calls for amnesty. And 57% of respondents blamed the prospect of amnesty for fueling immigrant desire in the first place. This, of course, is a direct reflection of failed rhetoric in the Democratic Party, particularly as it pertains to the president.
