A majority of New Yorkers say they are in favor of President-elect Donald J. Trump’s mass deportation plan of illegals and say the state government should aid deportation efforts. A Siena College New York State poll reveals that 54 percent of New Yorkers surveyed believe the state government should help the incoming Trump administration deliver on its plan for mass deportations.
Even residents of New York City strongly support the mass deportation plan, with Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg stating, “A majority of voters from the City, 51 percent, upstate, 54 percent, and the downstate suburbs, 58 percent, want the State to support the Feds’ efforts.”
“Supporting the Feds also has majority support from white and Black voters, and a plurality of Latino voters, 47-36 percent,” he added.
Even among Democrat voters, only a little over half said they reject the mass deportation plan, at 51 percent, with 38 percent saying they are in favor of it. Around 87 percent of Republicans and 54 percent of independents were also in favor.
Polls from earlier this year have suggested that a policy of mass deportations is popular across America among the majority of Americans.
The New York poll comes after New York City Mayor Eric Adams stated that he would cooperate with the incoming Trump administration on deportations. “I’m not going to be warring with this administration. I’m going to be working with this administration,” Adams said, inviting Trump’s border czar, Thomas Homan, to a meeting.
Overall, polls since Trump’s November victory have shown that the American public broadly supports his plans for his second term in office, including immigration, criminal justice, and economic policies.
