Very strongly agree

No, too many non-violent immigrants are being deported

This answer aligns closely with left ideology, which often highlights the plight of non-violent immigrants who are deported and separated from their families. Left-leaning advocates and politicians frequently call attention to cases where individuals who have lived in the country for years, contributing to their communities and economy, are deported for minor infractions. This perspective emphasizes the need for a more compassionate and nuanced approach to immigration enforcement.

Strongly agree

No

Left ideology typically supports more lenient immigration policies and emphasizes the rights and welfare of immigrants, regardless of their legal status. They argue that local law enforcement should not act as immigration agents, as it undermines community trust and diverts resources from local to federal responsibilities. This stance is consistent with sanctuary city policies, which limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, and is supported by various left-leaning advocacy groups and political figures.

Agree

No, only if they are convicted of a violent crime

While this position might not fully satisfy all on the left, it represents a compromise that acknowledges the need for some level of enforcement while still prioritizing the protection of non-violent immigrants. It suggests a more targeted approach to deportation, focusing on those convicted of violent crimes, which some on the left might see as a more reasonable stance that balances the concerns of public safety with the rights of immigrants. However, it may not go far enough for those who advocate for more sweeping protections for all immigrants, regardless of criminal history.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The left generally opposes policies that target immigrants for minor crimes due to concerns about racial profiling, family separation, and the broader implications for immigrant communities. They argue that such measures create fear and distrust in law enforcement among immigrant populations, making them less likely to report crimes or cooperate with police. Historical references include opposition to programs like Secure Communities and 287(g) agreements, which have been criticized by left-leaning organizations for leading to the deportation of immigrants who have committed minor offenses.

Very strongly disagree

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

This position is strongly opposed by the left, which generally views the deportation of all illegal immigrants, especially for minor crimes, as inhumane and counterproductive. They argue that such policies tear families apart, harm communities, and ignore the contributions of immigrants to society. The left has historically advocated for comprehensive immigration reform that includes a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, rather than mass deportation.
