Summary
An Axios-Ipsos poll shows that while two-thirds of Americans, including 93% of Republicans, support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, support declines when specific methods are proposed.
Only 38% favor using active-duty military, 28% back diverting military funds, and just one-third support separating families or deporting those who arrived as children.
Trump’s plans for mass deportations face logistical, economic, and public opinion challenges.
Experts note abstract support for deportations fades when Americans confront the complexities of implementation.
America hasn’t been great for anyone but rich people for quite some time now. There’s certainly worse places to be but there’s also a lot of better places regardless of which metric you evaluate that by.
Why does US continue to attract so many immigrants across the economic scale and education level
(1) Network effect: they already have extended family there. (2) English is the world’s most common second language. (3) Residual prestige from when the US was less crap than it is now.
I get why you’re being downvoted, but a lot of people seem to be ignoring that the US still has top tier secondary education, numerous job opportunities, and is still a major global player. On top of that the US is a very diverse country. However much we may struggle with racism and societal issues, there are large populations of people from every region/religion/language.
