Americans Generally Support Removing ILLEGAL’s…But Think Trump Effort Too Heavy Handed…

His goal IS  acceptable…

His method’s,  pushed by Stephen Miller,  are NOT…..

Nine months into President Trump’s mass deportation campaign, registered voters largely support the idea of removing immigrants who have arrived in the country illegally, even as majorities say they feel his methods have gone too far, according to the latest survey from The New York Times and Siena University.

Since Mr. Trump returned to power, his administration has enacted a new travel ban, sought to pull temporary humanitarian protections from hundreds of thousands of people, flown immigrants to countries where they are not from and deployed federal law enforcement officers to Chicago, Washington, D.C., and other major cities in a made-for-TV show of force to combat crime and illegal immigration.

In that time, the share of registered voters who favor deporting immigrants living in the country illegally — 54 percent — has remained unchanged.

More than 90 percent of Republicans, 52 percent of independents and nearly 20 percent of Democrats continue to broadly support the idea of deporting those here illegally.

More specifically, 51 percent said they thought the government was deporting mostly people who “should be deported,” while 42 percent said the government was deporting the wrong people…

Clashes between officers and activists and observers have broken out at courthouses, workplaces and front yards. The apprehensions have entangled beloved community members, undocumented parents with American-born children and spouses, and U.S. citizens, many of whom have been Latino.

More than half of voters, 53 percent, think the process of deporting people has not been fair; 44 percent said it was mostly fair.

A similar share — 52 percent — disapprove of Mr. Trump’s handling of immigration; 46 percent approve. And 51 percent said his actions around immigration enforcement had gone too far.

In the Trump era, it is has not been uncommon for people to hold what can seem to be contradictory views of the president’s agenda. On issues like crime, tariffs and immigration, voters largely support the aims in concept, but believe that in practice, Mr. Trump’s actions go too far….
