This statistic indicates that deportation remains a meaningful issue among american voters,with 83% identifying it as important. Despite opposition from Democrats and humanitarian groups, 57% of respondents categorized the search and deportation of these individuals as &#8220;very important.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The survey reveals broad demographic support for Trump&#8217;s deportation policies, including 80% of Hispanic and African american respondents. Trump has pledged to prioritize these deportations in a potential second term, having already facilitated thousands of deportations amid legal challenges. Though, the nationwide attitude towards sanctuary policies-areas that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities-is more mixed. While 47% of voters approve of these policies, 58% believe they jeopardize public safety by harboring criminals.<\/p>\n<p>Experts suggest that supporters of sanctuary policies may not fully understand their implications, as they tend to protect individuals arrested for crimes rather than ensuring community safety.The overall data illustrates a complex landscape of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >public opinion surrounding immigration enforcement<\/a> in the U.S.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Still winning: Over 80% back Trump&rsquo;s deportation of criminal illegal immigrants<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2147892\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>More than eight in 10 voters support President Donald Trump&rsquo;s job of hunting down and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3451986\/dhs-supreme-court-ruling-third-countries-fire-up-deportation-planes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">deporting illegal migrants<\/a> who have committed crimes in the United States, the latest sign that his top issue continues to be embraced in America.<\/p>\n<p>Amid a swirl of legal challenges proposed by Democrats and liberal humanitarian groups, 83% of likely voters in the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3430343\/number-of-sanctuaries-illegal-immigrants-triples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Rasmussen Reports<\/a> survey shared with Secrets said they believe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jon-tester-is-co-sponsoring-the-laken-riley-act-after-he-voted-against-it\/\" title=\"Jon Tester is now supporting the Laken Riley Act, previously opposing it\">deporting criminal illegal immigrants<\/a> is important.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3451161\/margaret-brennan-iran-rubio-cbs-nuclear-weapons\/\">Feckless Margaret Brennan thinks she&rsquo;s secretary of state: Liberal media scream<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3450745\/artificial-intelligence-resume-filters-study\/\">AI job filters push white guys to the bottom of applicants<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3449737\/art-of-the-deal-takes-center-stage-white-house-report-card\/\">Art of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/art-of-the-deal-takes-center-stage-white-house-report-card-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Art of the deal takes ... stage: ... - Washington Examiner\">deal takes center stage<\/a>: White House Report Card<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Just 13% said it is not important.

Among Hispanics and African Americans, 80% support Trump, for example.<\/p>\n<p>Trump promised that his second administration would first focus on tracking down criminal illegal immigrants to deport. His team has so far rounded up thousands to deport, and despite opposition from Democrats, many courts have given the policy a green light.<\/p>\n<p>Still, he has faced opposition from the most radical leftists who continue to call for the elimination of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>While a huge majority are united on the importance of deporting illegal immigrants, the nation appears conflicted or confused over pro-illegal immigrant sanctuary policies that exist in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3430343\/number-of-sanctuaries-illegal-immigrants-triples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">47 states and Washington, D.C.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When asked what they think of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3430343\/number-of-sanctuaries-illegal-immigrants-triples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">sanctuary states<\/a> that &ldquo;have policies that restrict state and local officials from cooperating with federal immigration authorities,&rdquo; 47% said they &ldquo;approve.&rdquo; Another 44% said that they &ldquo;disapprove.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>But when asked if they believe so-called sanctuaries in states, cities, and some facilities endanger public safety by protecting criminals, 58% said they agree.<\/p>\n<p>Secrets asked sanctuary state expert <a href=\"https:\/\/cis.org\/Vaughan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Jessica Vaughan<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/cis.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Center for Immigration Studies<\/a> for her analysis of the contradiction found in the survey about sanctuaries.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEE THE LATEST POLITICAL NEWS AND BUZZ FROM WASHINGTON SECRETS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Center&rsquo;s policy director told us, &ldquo;I think many of those who say they approve do not understand how sanctuary policies actually work. They are not benign and do not protect ordinary, &lsquo;harmless&rsquo; illegal aliens, or encourage them to report crimes, but instead cause criminal aliens who have been arrested for crimes by local police, and who ICE is then trying to deport, to be released back into the community. The benefits of sanctuary policies are mythical, but pro-sanctuary politicians still tell their constituents that they are needed to protect innocent people from overzealous enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s interesting that so many of those who opposed sanctuary policies oppose them strongly.
