Summary

An Axios-Ipsos poll shows that while two-thirds of Americans, including 93% of Republicans, support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, support declines when specific methods are proposed.

Only 38% favor using active-duty military, 28% back diverting military funds, and just one-third support separating families or deporting those who arrived as children.

Trump’s plans for mass deportations face logistical, economic, and public opinion challenges.

Experts note abstract support for deportations fades when Americans confront the complexities of implementation.

    About one in 10 Americans — and close to 1 in 5 Republicans — said they’d support deporting immigrants who are in the country lawfully.

    Lead and microplastics have severely fucked us all up in the head.

      Don’t assume lazy-ass Freakonomics just-so stories are true. The causes are ignorance, racism and propaganda.

        What do you think increases things like ignorance and racism? You do know what lead does to people, right?
