Recent polls indicate a drastic change in public support for Trump’s immigration policies. The approval rating has dropped to 20%, with 25% of US adults expressing concerns about potential deportations affecting them or their loved ones.
During the week, Trump specifically warned US tech companies about hiring from India, diverging from his initial immigration promises. The sentiment towards his crackdown on undocumented immigration has notably soured, mirroring public discontent towards his enforcement tactics.
Survey results reveal that only a minority, ranging from 20-30%, back Trump’s key immigration strategies. These include actions like targeting undocumented individuals without criminal backgrounds, constructing large-scale detention facilities, and deporting individuals to nations such as El Salvador and South Sudan without proper legal proceedings.
