Axios is out with eye-popping results from a poll it ran, which show the overall popularity of the hard-line immigration proposals Donald Trump has floated in his campaign, including mass deportations of illegal aliens and the end of birthright citizenship.
What it found was that 51 percent of Americans (including 42 percent of Democrats) say they would support mass deportations of illegal aliens. Thirty percent of Democrats and 46 percent of Republicans would end birthright citizenship. The poll shows that Americans are concerned about illegal immigration primarily because of increased crime and drug trafficking, but not far behind are concerns about costs to taxpayers, and potential threats to national security.
