Almost one in three U.S. adults (32%) support the deportation of all undocumented immigrants living in the United States regardless of criminal status, according to a new poll by the Pew Research Center. Moreover, 51% believe that at least some should be removed under certain conditions, and only 16% oppose any deportations.
Among those favoring some deportations, the vast majority (97%) support removing undocumented individuals who have committed violent crimes. A smaller majority (52%) endorse deporting those guilty of non-violent offenses, while 44% favor removing those who arrived in the U.S. within the past four years and have not been found guilty of crimes.
