1. Harvard–Harris Poll on Immigration
- A new Harvard–Harris poll shows 57% of Americans want all illegal immigrants deported, a surprisingly high number given the poll’s liberal lean.
- Support includes:
- 79% of Republicans
- 54% of Independents
- 35% of Democrats (notably high for that party)
2. Public Support for Stronger Immigration Laws
- 63–64% support laws preventing illegal immigrants from obtaining commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs).
- Even 40% of Democrats support blocking CDLs for illegal immigrants.
3. Attitudes Toward Enforcement
- Americans largely want:
- Greater cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE (honoring ICE detainers).
- Less reliance on heavy federal raids.
- Many oppose adding 20,000 new Border Patrol/ICE agents, preferring local agencies to assist instead.
4. DHS Worksite Crackdowns
- DHS is intensifying checks on businesses hiring undocumented workers.
- Example: Some D.C. restaurants fired 20–29 illegal workers each after DHS audits.
5. Economic Narrative Challenged
- Democrats claim deportations would cripple industries and raise prices.
- Americans want citizens prioritized for:
- Jobs
- Housing
- Healthcare
- Insurance
6. Rise in Pro-Socialism Views
- A Fox News poll shows:
- 38% say a move from capitalism toward socialism would be good — an all-time high.
- 61% still view socialism negatively, but the shift shows growing acceptance.
