Nation Roars: Americans Rally Behind Call for Mass Deportations, Demanding Swift Action on Immigration Crisis
Glenn Gilmour, 4/25/2024The American people are outraged over Biden's disastrous open border policies, with a majority now supporting mass deportations and ending birthright citizenship. As the crisis spirals out of control, Trump's tough stance resonates, while Biden deflects blame. It's time for real action to secure our nation's borders and protect American citizens from the scourges of illegal immigration.
In America, the ongoing discourse surrounding immigration has arrived at a pivotal moment, driven by a recent poll revealing that a majority of Americans, along with a substantial contingent of Democrats, endorse the concept of mass deportations for undocumented migrants. As per the Axios Vibes survey, administered by the Harris Poll, 51% of respondents voiced support for the removal of undocumented immigrants.Their reasoning? They argue that these individuals have utilized taxpayer resources that could have been directed towards supporting the homeless and veterans in the United States.
"I was surprised at the public support for large-scale deportations," remarked Mark Penn, chairman of the Harris Poll, suggesting that the findings reflect a growing frustration among the public -- a stern message to politicians to "get this under control." Penn further warned that attempts by the Biden administration to deflect responsibility onto former President Donald Trump are unlikely to resonate with an increasingly exasperated electorate.
The data also revealed a surprising level of support for ending birthright citizenship -- a constitutional right enshrined in the 14th Amendment -- with 30% of Democrats and 46% of Republicans favoring its abolition. Many folks are deeply worried about crime rates, drug problems, and violence, especially when it comes to illegal immigration. In a recent survey, 21% of people pointed to these concerns as major fears.
The situation at the U.S.-Mexico border is getting more serious by the day. Since Biden took office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has logged over 7 million illegal crossings. This puts immense pressure on the administration to deal with the issue. However, instead of taking direct responsibility, Biden tends to blame his predecessor. Critics argue that his policies, like the open border approach and stopping Title 42, have only made things worse.
On the flip side, Trump promises a tough stance on the border if he gets back into office. He's committed to keeping American citizens safe from violence, murder, and the deadly fentanyl trade that's often linked to illegal immigration. "If Trump wants to win, he should do everything he can to win over Nikki's support and her voters," cautioned a former staffer from Nikki Haley's suspended presidential campaign, referring to the 16.6% of Pennsylvania primary voters who cast ballots for the former governor despite her withdrawal.
The controversy surrounding immigration extends beyond party lines, with Biden facing a protest movement from Democrats disgruntled by his handling of the conflict in the Middle East. In states like Michigan and Minnesota, which have significant Arab American and Muslim populations, a substantial portion of voters cast "uncommitted" ballots in a rebuke of the administration's policies.
Amidst the turmoil, a bipartisan group of senators and the United Steelworkers (USW) have called on Biden to hike tariffs on imported aluminum to safeguard American jobs. In a letter to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, they warned that domestic manufacturers and workers "can't compete with merchandise that's subsidized and unfairly dumped" by countries like China, Vietnam, and others.
As the nation grapples with these contentious issues, the divisions run deep -- a stark reminder that the quest for a comprehensive and equitable solution remains an elusive goal. The road ahead is fraught with challenges, but the voices of the people, echoing through polls and protest votes, demand action from their elected leaders.
