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.

It is absolutely not the case that 60% of the population wants all non-citizens deported. On what do you base your claim?

  • Check 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.

    • Your 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.
