Americans Have Mixed/Negative Views of Immigration Actions

Public split over use of local law enforcement for deportation efforts; majorities disapprove of suspending asylum applications

Comments

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)....
