Another Poll Shows Voters Overwhelmingly Support Immigration Enforcement

A new Rasmussen Reports poll shows that likely voters overwhelming support immigration enforcement over President Obama’s non-enforcement policies. The survey of 1,000 likely voters, conducted April 1-2, found that 62% believe the Obama Administration is “not aggressive enough” in deporting illegal aliens. (Rasmussen Reports Poll, Apr. 6, 2015) This is up from 56% in November (right after the election) and from 52% last April. (See Rasmussen Reports Poll, Nov. 18, 2014; Rasmussen Reports Poll, Apr. 30, 2014) By comparison, just 15% of likely voters in the recent poll believe “the number of deportations [is]about right” and 16% think the government is “too aggressive” in deporting illegal aliens.
