More from the poll:

... As the Trump administration has stepped up immigration enforcement around the country, Americans offer mixed to negative views of some of its most high-profile actions.

For example, public opinion is split over the use of state and local law enforcement in deportation efforts (50% approve, 49% disapprove) and offering money and travel funds to immigrants in the U.S. illegally if they leave voluntarily (49% approve, 50% disapprove).

But several other actions are far less popular:

- - - 60% of Americans disapprove of the suspension of most asylum applications (39% approve).

- - - 59% disapprove of ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for many immigrants who came to the United States escaping war or other disasters at home (39% approve).

- - - 54% disapprove of increasing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids on workplaces where people who are in the U.S. illegally may be working (45% approve)....

As usual, Msgt shows why being a boomer getting their views from social media and memes is a bad thing.

It was only in specific situations, not the blanket denial of constitutional rights we're seeing now. Especially in cases where people's legal status is changed or ignored.

The more releases, the more the real story appears.

These aren't -----------, rapists and drug-dealers.

These are cooks, gardeners, housekeepers and waitresses.

They are students who published an op-ed in a college newspaper.

When Americans are asked about deporting these kinds of 'criminals' it's a resounding no.

It's a Buffet of Buffoonery run by the Confederacy of Dunces.
