Poll Shows Majority of Americans Believe Trump Will Control Illegal Immigration
A significant majority of Americans believe President-elect Donald Trump will successfully manage illegal immigration, according to a new Gallup poll released Thursday. As Trump prepares to take office, he has pledged to implement a historic deportation operation and enhance border security measures aimed at curbing illegal immigration.
Strong Public Support for Trump’s Immigration Agenda
The Gallup poll reveals that 68% of Americans are confident that Trump will take effective action to control illegal immigration. Only 28% of those polled expressed doubts about his ability to address the issue. Trump made immigration control a central focus of his presidential campaign, particularly in response to the ongoing migrant crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.
“We’re going to fix our borders. We’re going to fix everything about our country,” Trump said following his election victory in November. He emphasized his commitment to tackling the illegal immigration problem as a top priority during his upcoming term.
Trump’s Plan for Immigration Enforcement
Among his key promises, Trump has vowed to initiate what he describes as “the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.” The president-elect has also outlined plans to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport known or suspected gang members, drug dealers, and cartel members. Additionally, Trump intends to shift law enforcement priorities toward immigration enforcement.
One of Trump’s signature proposals is the continuation of border wall construction at the southern border. While construction began during his first administration, it was halted by the Biden administration. Trump has made it clear that he plans to resume building the wall upon taking office.
In an effort to strengthen immigration enforcement, Trump has also discussed expanding the use of ankle monitors for individuals who cannot be detained and increasing the capacity for immigration detention centers, particularly in metropolitan areas. The former president has appointed Tom Homan, former acting ICE Director, as his border czar and nominated South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as the next Homeland Security Secretary.
Broader Public Confidence in Trump’s Policy Agenda
Beyond immigration, the Gallup poll suggests that Americans are also optimistic about Trump’s ability to address several other key issues. A majority believes he will succeed in reducing unemployment (60%), ensuring U.S. safety from terrorism (60%), improving the economy (58%), and keeping the country out of war (55%).
Additionally, Trump is expected by many to cut taxes, reduce crime rates, and improve global respect for the United States. As his administration approaches, these polling results underscore the confidence many Americans have in Trump’s ability to implement his promises and reshape national policy.
Conclusion
As President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his inauguration, the Gallup poll highlights strong public support for his approach to illegal immigration and other national priorities. With his plans for mass deportation, border security, and immigration enforcement taking center stage, Trump aims to address the concerns of many Americans regarding illegal immigration while also focusing on broader economic and security goals.
