Two explosive new polls hammer home what everyday Americans have been shouting: it’s time to deport criminal illegal aliens and ensure local authorities team up with ICE to enforce the law. President Trump’s no-nonsense crackdown on border chaos resonates deeply, while Democrats’ endless obstruction only spotlights their dangerous extremism.
A White House release highlighting the polls declares that as “Radical Left Democrats continue their reckless obstruction,” the data proves Trump’s policies are “massively popular.”
A Cygnal poll shows 73% of Americans agreeing that entering the U.S. without permission is flat-out breaking the law. Another 61% back deporting illegal aliens to their home countries, while 58% reject the Democrats’ push to defund ICE—a stance that’s now baked into their party’s core. And 54% support ICE stepping up to enforce federal immigration laws without apology.
The second Harvard Harris poll digs even deeper into the public’s fury over criminal elements exploiting open borders. A solid majority approves of President Trump’s handling of the anti-ICE riots in Minneapolis, where lawlessness threatened communities.
Fully 73% insist criminal illegal aliens should be deported, with over half wanting that extended to all illegal aliens lacking any lawful right to be here. Cooperation is key: 67% demand state and local officials work with federal authorities to deport these criminals, including 64% of independents.
Even more telling, 67% say local jails must hand over criminal illegal aliens to federal hands for swift removal—backed by 62% of independents and a surprising 50% of Democrats.
A full sixty percent of respondents view Democrats as “actively encouraging resistance to ICE officers simply trying to do their jobs and keep Americans safe.” And 57% oppose elected officials who stir up chaos by pushing defiance against ICE.
These numbers expose the Radical Left’s agenda for what it is: a deliberate sabotage of sovereignty that flies in the face of what Americans truly want—secure borders and protected streets.
These numbers build directly on the groundswell of support for mass deportations.
Multiple surveys from outlets like the New York Times (55%), Marquette (64%), CBS News (57%), and ABC News (56%) confirmed a unified public demand to enforce immigration laws. As CNN data analyst Harry Enten pointed out, this “uniformity across four pollsters” signals a “majority view,” with attitudes toward immigration turning “considerably more hawkish.”
Enten also noted that 63% support deporting those who arrived in the last four years, while a staggering 87% approve deporting those with criminal records. Overall, 55% now want decreased immigration levels—both legal and illegal—the highest mark since right after 9/11, up 14 points from 2023 and 17 from 2016 when Trump first surged to power.
These trends underscore a nation fed up with globalist policies that prioritize outsiders over citizens.
Adding fuel to the fire, a recent viral compilation exposes just how far Democrats have strayed from their own past rhetoric on border security.
The clip from @WesternLensman on X stitches together archived footage of top Democrats championing the very enforcement they now undermine. The video sums it up bluntly: “For decades, border security and immigration enforcement weren’t controversial or radical ideas. The only thing that changed? Democrats.”
This hypocrisy couldn’t be starker. Democrats who once backed deportations and secure borders now block funding for ICE reforms, demand warrants for routine arrests, and end patrols—all while public polls scream for action. It’s a betrayal that prioritizes political games over national security.
The message from these polls is crystal clear: Americans are done with the chaos of unchecked immigration. President Trump’s push to deport criminals, empower ICE, and demand local cooperation isn’t just popular—it’s essential to restoring order and putting America First. As the Radical Left clings to their open-borders fantasy, the tide of public opinion will sweep them aside.

Fedgov does not care what Americans want.
The illegal aliens could easily be removed by cutting off their housing (via landlords) and employment (via employers). All this ICE drama is nothing more than a dog-n-pony show.
Don’t forget that the UN, NGO’s and billionaires backed this US invasion from the third world. These groups need to be “dealt with”.
