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.
Pretty much every immigrant already knows people here, whether closely or indirectly. They are not drawn by the rosy picture presented by the NBA or Marvel movies and presuming they are is really condescending and honestly embarrassing too. No - what they see is members of their families or friends’ families succeeding and sending back massive remittances, or for the professional workers they have easy access to pay scales for the same industry in the US vs. their home country and a certain number of them are more than willing to trade distance from family for 2x to 3x salary.
… You think it’s embarrassing that I think that advertising works?? You’re hilariously naive to think that it doesn’t.
Like I said, sure, we have a higher standard of living than most countries, but there are plenty of options when it comes to moving somewhere with a higher-value currency. And any other option will probably come with some form of socialized medicine and better protections for workers. Oh and they won’t have an incoming administration promising to deport everyone en masse and keep them in camps in the meantime.
Weird how so many still choose here then! I guess Marvel and Taylor Swift are just that cool.
Lol were you just looking to pick a fight? You literally asked why people found this country appealing then got mad when you saw an answer you didn’t like
I’m not mad or picking a fight, it’s odd you see such powerful emotions in a very normal internet discussion, perhaps therapy would help… No what I was doing was leaving you with a dumb joke because I understood that despite the huge and well known economic benefits, you still think TV is why people want to move here
