Recent polls indicate a significant decline in public support for Trump’s immigration raids, down to 20%. Additionally, 25% of US adults express concerns about potential deportations affecting them or their close ones.
In response to current trends, President Trump issued a warning this week to American tech firms regarding the employment of workers from India. Despite his initial stance on rigorous immigration control, particularly in relation to undocumented immigrants, public sentiment on this critical issue has notably soured. This sentiment extends to companies leveraging Indian talent who are unlikely to passively comply with his threats.
The latest survey data reveals that only a minority, around 20-30% of the public, now back Trump’s key immigration measures. These initiatives encompass actions such as the apprehension of undocumented individuals lacking criminal histories, the establishment of large detention facilities, and the deportation of individuals to nations like El Salvador and South Sudan sans legal proceedings.
