‘Oh My’: CNN’s Harry Enten Says Americans Becoming More ‘Hawkish’ On Illegal Immigration Benefits Trump

CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said on Tuesday that Americans increasingly opposing illegal 🛂Immigration benefits former President Donald Trump while hurting President Joe Biden in the upcoming election.

Over 60% of Americans approve deporting “all” illegal immigrants from the U.S., including most men, women, independents, conservatives, moderates, Republicans, individuals with a four-year college degree, those without a college education and people over 30, according to a recent CBS/YouGov poll. Enten on “CNN News Central” said the poll indicates Americans have “more hawkish views on illegal 🛂Immigration” than they did in previous elections, which makes Trump the “beneficiary” in 2024.

“I’m a big fan of timelines, of chronology and how things can change over time,” Enten said. “And this says a lot. Favor deporting all living in the U.S. illegally. Now, I should note that the 2024 question specified undocumented immigrants specifically, but still, the timeline here, oh my goodness gracious. In 2016, it was just 40% who favored deporting all living in the U.S. illegally. Look at where we are in 2024: 62% in a recent CBS News/YouGov poll.”
