According to a new poll, while some Americans blame President Donald Trump for unrest in Los Angeles, they also support his decision to call in the National Guard to quell violent protests over his immigration policy.
After Trump's promise to deport vast numbers of illegal aliens, ICE operations around the country sparked protests in Los Angeles and other locations, some of which became violent, causing immense damage.
Trump sent 4,000 National Guard men and 700 Marines to combat unrest, over opposition from Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom and local politicians who feared escalation.
The poll is one of numerous measures of Americans' views on Trump's immigration policies and the protests.
Critics have voiced concerns about the techniques used by immigration officers during the raids and the treatment of migrants by federal authorities, even if the raids are following legal orders.
The split of American opinions against Trump's immigration crackdown was on full display at the Los Angeles protests.
According to recent polls, many Americans are in favor of using military force to quell violent protesters, but many still have issues with Trump's overall handling of the matter.
On the specifics of some deportations, 62 % believe Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal alien deported by Trump and hailed as a saint and “Maryland Man” by Democrats and the establishment media, is an MS-13 gang member, while 32 percent say he “should have been defended.”
According to the Harvard-Harris poll, 46% of Americans are happy with Trump's job performance, while 50% are unhappy.
There are other polls that show Trump doing well while dealing with this immigration problem as well.
According to a recent Pew study, 83% of people think illegal immigrants should be deported, with 32% favoring deportation for all immigrants, and 51% expressing interest in just some immigrants being deported.
Among Hispanics, 53% "somewhat" or "strongly" back Trump's deportation strategy, according to a survey conducted earlier this month by the League of American Workers.
CNN went into a frenzy over the widespread support that the American people have shown for Trump's immigration plans.
This despite the fact that the people of the United States want illegal immigrants to be deported. Period. Particularly of concern are all of the dangerous felons that former President Joe Biden accepted into the country during his tenure.
