Polls: ICE Opposition Rises Amid Democrats’ Border Outrage
Two polls show that public opinion on ICE enforcement has been dragged to the left by the Democrats’ “Abolish ICE!” campaign.
A Pew poll of 1,007 adults shows that 47 percent have an unfavorable view of the immigration-enforcement agency, while 44 percent have a favorable view.
A Wall Street Journal poll of 900 registered voters shows that the public is split 38 percent positive and 37 percent negative over ICE. That is a 13-point shift from April when the public had a 34 percent positive and 26 percent negative view of the enforcement agency. The poll was taken July 15-18.
The polls highlight the public’s unease with the televised enforcement of the popular laws against sympathetic violators, such as the mothers and children who are separated in the process of adjudicating their claims for asylum.
This unease about enforcement is stronger among the suburban women voters needed by the House GOP and is exploited by the progressive media’s relentless focus on the concerns of the migrants, usually with the aid of progressive judges and pro-migration legal activists. The establishment media also sidelines Americans’ widespread concerns about cheap migrant labor, drugs and crowded schools.
This shift in opinion about ICE is a problem for the GOP, which wants to highlight the “Abolish ICE!” demand in the 2018 midterms to spur GOP turnout and to shift swing-voters towards the GOP.
According to Pew’s July 11-15 poll, 82 percent of left-wing Democrats oppose ICE, including 53 percent of who have a “Very unfavorable” view of the agency, which plays a huge role in deporting economic migrants and violent foreigners, reducing the company hiring of wage-cutting illegals, and in breaking up the drug networks. Only 20 percent of Democrats have a favorable view of the agency.
In contrast, 77 percent of conservatives and 72 percent of Republicans support the agency, according to Pew.
