President Donald Trump’s hard support for illegal migration is declining among Americans, TASR writes. Trump in last year’s presidential elections won partly thanks to the promises to trigger historical deportations. He was aroused by exaggerated claims about mass violence by the perpetrators of migrants without documents, which he described as “savages”, for example, AFP recalled.
His immigration policy had a majority support at the beginning of the second term; However, this is no longer the case. At present, 49 percent of the Americans surveyed is approved by surveys, the rest disagree with it. At the same time, it was 54 percent in June, 59 percent in February. CBS News said the decline is related to the perception of who is deported from the United States.
They went too far
Fifty -five percent of respondents, according to CNN, believe that the raid of immigration authorities – often visible on the Internet in viral videos on which masked, unidentified agents detain people on the street – have gone too far. Most – 57 percent – Americans, in turn, spoke against plans for the construction of bulk retention facilities and only 26 percent support this idea.
In addition, CBS News has shown that 56 percent of the respondents believe that Trump’s administration focuses on migrants who do not pose a threat to public security. In June, 47 percent were expressed in this way.
Trump’s steps against illegal immigrants find almost universal support among Republicans, which are 91 percent for the deportation program. On the contrary, the disagreement between the independent is 59 percent and between the Democrats 86 percent.
Without hope
According to AFP, Trump commemorated six months of its second presidential mandate by going to his golf club in Virginia near Washington. On his social network Truth Social wrote that the first half of his return to the White House is “described as one of the most important periods of all presidents”.
“For six months, it has not been a long time to completely revive the important country. A year ago, our dead, almost without hope for a revival,” said the US President, adding that the United States is now “the most respected country anywhere in the world”.
Like other soundings, CBS News has found that Trump’s overall popularity is crooked. At present, only 42 percent of Americans approve of his work, with 53 percent in February.
