Poll: Clear Majority Backs Donald Trump’s Immigration Policies

Americans strongly back former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, according to a poll that asked Americans about their preferred policies, not the candidates.

Fifty-four percent support and just 23 percent oppose “requiring asylum seekers from Latin America to wait in Mexico while their claims are processed in the [U.S.] courts,” says the YouGov poll, released on June 26.

Fifty-four percent support and 35 percent oppose “arresting and deporting thousands of illegal immigrants,” said the poll {snip}

Fifty-two percent support and 39 percent oppose “building a wall that extends along the entire U.S.-Mexico border.”

However, Trump’s calls to end birthright citizenship are not yet a majority. {snip}
