The overwhelming majority of Americans support deporting illegal aliens with a criminal record, a poll from the New York Times found, affirming support for one of President-elect Donald Trump’s core campaign promises.

Almost nine in ten Americans, 87 percent, back the policy, with just ten percent opposing it, the New York Times poll found.

The poll also found that 63 percent of Americans support deporting immigrants who are here illegally and arrived over the past four years. Another 55 percent of Americans are in support of deporting all immigrants who are here illegally.

The results come as the House of Representatives prepares to focus on immigration in the first days of the Trump presidency. The House Judiciary Committee’s first hearing in 2025 will be titled ​​“Restoring Immigration Enforcement in America” and will discuss “what the Trump administration can do to restore integrity to America’s immigration system,” The Daily Wire exclusively reported.

Trump is expected to sign several executive orders upon being inaugurated, including some addressing border security.

The results of the Times survey reaffirm previous polling, which found Americans highly support deportations, one of Trump’s flagship campaign promises.

Nearly 60 percent of respondents to a CBS News poll said they would support an effort to deport all illegal aliens from the United States, not just those who have been convicted of a violent crime.

One poll from the summer found that 65 percent of Americans want to increase the number of deportations of illegal aliens. A majority of Americans, 54 percent, also said that the border wall should continue to be built, while 66 percent said that businesses that hire illegal aliens should face harsher penalties. Another poll found that most American adults want less immigration into the United States.
