President Donald Trump's aggressive stance on immigration continues to resonate with a significant portion of the American electorate.
According to Breitbart News, a recent CBS News poll reveals that 58 percent of American adults support Trump's program to locate and deport immigrants who are in the United States illegally, while 42 percent oppose the measure.
The poll demonstrates strong backing among key demographic groups, with 93 percent of Republicans and 56 percent of swing voters expressing support for the deportation initiative. White Americans, both college-educated and non-college-educated, showed substantial support at 56 percent and 69 percent, respectively. Hispanic Americans appeared more divided on the issue, with 47 percent favoring the deportations and 53 percent opposing them.
Recent polling data from multiple sources reinforces the popularity of Trump's immigration policies among the American public. The Pew Research Center's latest survey indicates that a combined 83 percent of American adults support some form of deportation for illegal immigrants.
Only a small minority, representing 16 percent of Americans, oppose all deportations from the United States. This demonstrates a clear consensus among the public regarding immigration enforcement measures.
The data shows particularly strong support for the deportation of illegal immigrants involved in criminal activities. An overwhelming majority of respondents who support partial deportations believe that those charged or convicted of violent crimes should be removed from the country.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has already begun implementing Trump's deportation program with significant results. Reports indicate that more than 100,000 deportations have been carried out since Trump assumed office in January 2025.
These enforcement actions represent one of the most extensive deportation operations in recent U.S. history. The program's scope and scale reflect the administration's commitment to addressing illegal immigration through aggressive enforcement measures.
The implementation has faced praise and criticism from various sectors of society, with supporters highlighting the need for strict immigration control and opponents expressing concerns about humanitarian implications.
The strong public support for deportations suggests a potential shift in the national conversation around immigration enforcement. This backing could provide the administration with additional political capital to expand its current immigration initiatives.
The poll results may influence future policy decisions and legislative proposals related to immigration reform. With majority support from swing voters, the issue could play a significant role in upcoming political campaigns and elections.
Public opinion appears to favor a nuanced approach that distinguishes between different categories of illegal immigrants, particularly regarding their criminal history and length of stay in the United States.
A CBS News poll has revealed substantial public support for President Trump's deportation program, with 58 percent of American adults backing the initiative to remove illegal immigrants from the United States. The program has already resulted in over 100,000 deportations since January 2025, demonstrating the administration's commitment to implementing strict immigration enforcement measures. While Republicans and white Americans show the strongest support, the issue has created divisions among Hispanic Americans, with public opinion data suggesting most Americans favor a targeted approach to deportations based on factors such as criminal history.
