Americans hold complex views on what should happen to undocumented immigrants. As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to ramp up mass deportations, about three-quarters of U.S. adults say they are at least somewhat concerned about the number of immigrants entering the country illegally, and a majority support enforcing mass deportation.

    many voters who supported Trump did so primarily because of economic concerns

    That doesn’t conflict with my statement at all. They don’t actually care about what happens to other people, specifically immigrants in this case. What they say completely conflicts with their actions.

    Most Americans are perfectly happy to endorse a domestic genocide if they think it will slightly improve their personal lives/wallets. Or they’re just totally indifferent, which isn’t much better in my opinion.
