Summary

A PRRI poll revealed 46% of Republican voters support using the U.S. military to detain undocumented immigrants in camps, a prospect pollster Robert P. Jones found alarming to survey.

While three-quarters of Americans oppose such measures, Jones expressed concern about the normalization of these discussions during the Trump era.

Axios highlighted Trump’s past remarks endorsing military action against undocumented immigrants and political opponents, raising fears about his potential policies in the 2024 election.

The data underscores growing divides over immigration enforcement and the use of military power domestically.

    If you polled 1941 Germans about whether they support death camps for “undesirables” you might have gotten similar numbers but they still wouldn’t do anything to stop it when it happens.

    This is enough popular support within a ruling party with control of all branches of government to do it. What percentage of the people who don’t support it would be willing to abandon the party if they enacted it?

        Republicans are American Nazis. It will always be relevant when talking about the party. Catch up.

              I know they’re a bunch of dumb bastards but that line always makes me laugh, like they think that because Canada is a (sovereign) state it isn’t already broken up into provinces and should at least become ten states.
