Americans hold complex views on what should happen to undocumented immigrants. As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to ramp up mass deportations, about three-quarters of U.S. adults say they are at least somewhat concerned about the number of immigrants entering the country illegally, and a majority support enforcing mass deportation.

    How did you get that knowledge or feeling?

    I’m asking because most articles I’ve read that analyze the recent election say that many voters who supported Trump did so primarily because of economic concerns.

      That doesn’t conflict with my statement at all. They don’t actually care about what happens to other people, specifically immigrants in this case. What they say completely conflicts with their actions.

      Most Americans are perfectly happy to endorse a domestic genocide if they think it will slightly improve their personal lives/wallets. Or they’re just totally indifferent, which isn’t much better in my opinion.

      Considering he isn’t going to do anything to help the economy, I don’t know why they voted like that.

        People are fucking morons who never learn anything. They just listen to whatever tall man says things the most confidently whether it is positive and true or blatant lies. People are worried about immigrants despite every single study and statistic showing the concern is based on blatant lies and they haven’t learned that Republicans have constantly fucked over the economy for decades with repeated attempts at Reaganomics.

        But the guy who fucked is over just 4 years ago while lying about everything saying it over and over means they will listen, because people are morons.
