Strongly agree

Yes

Eisenhower's administration was known for Operation Wetback in 1954, a military-style operation to remove illegal immigrants, primarily from Mexico. This suggests he would likely agree with local law enforcement detaining illegal immigrants for minor crimes and transferring them to federal immigration authorities.

Agree

Yes, all illegal immigrants should be turned over to federal authorities and deported

Disagree

No, only if they are convicted of a violent crime
