A new poll reveals that a clear majority of American voters support former President Donald Trump’s pledge to enact mass deportations of illegal aliens, in a major blow to Democratic talking points on the campaign trail.

As the Daily Caller reports, the Scripps News/Ipsos poll shows that 54% of respondents are in favor of mass deportations of illegals. This includes 86% of Republicans, 58% of independents, and even 25% of Democrats.

Compared to all major issues, the poll showed immigration as the second-highest priority for voters, with 39% calling it their top issue. Only inflation is higher, with 57% calling it their dominant issue ahead of the November election. In the same poll, President Trump leads Harris on the question of who is better fit to handle the immigration crisis, with a 10-point lead over the vice president.

In the same poll, voters expressed their concerns over illegal aliens interfering in the election by casting illegal votes, with 83% of Republicans, 46% of independents, and 24% of Democrats sharing this view.

Immigration has always been one of President Trump’s top issues, from his earliest pledges in 2016 to “build the wall,” to his latest vows to carry out the largest deportation operation in American history.

“When I am your President, we will immediately Seal the Border, Stop the Invasion, and on Day One, we will begin the largest deportation operation of illegal CRIMINALS in American History!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Trump has highlighted the increasingly high rate of crime committed by illegal aliens, including prominent examples of American citizens murdered by illegal aliens; among them are Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student in Georgia; Rachel Morin, a mother of 5 in Maryland; Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl in Texas; and Aiden Clark, an 11-year-old boy killed by a Haitian in Ohio.

President Trump has also drawn attention to the surge of Haitian illegals in the Ohio town of Springfield, with some 20,000 illegals flooding into the town and severely disrupting the community. Reports have emerged that Haitians in the town have begun hunting, killing, and eating domestic pets such as cats and dogs. Despite Democrats’ efforts to insist that these are just conspiracy theories, official police reports and bodycam footage have confirmed the authenticity of such incidents.

The poll was conducted between September 13th and September 15th, with a sample size of 1,027 American adults. The margin of error is 3.6%.
