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.

    Yeah that’s exactly how the concentration camps happened in Nazi Germany. The initial plan wasn’t to start starving and gassing the Jews. It was to round them up and deport them. Turns out you can’t practically deport millions of people, so they started murdering them instead.
