CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten pointed out Wednesday that Americans have become “more hawkish” on illegal immigration since President Donald Trump’s first term.
A majority of American adults, 56%, supported deporting all illegal immigrants in an October 2024 ABC News poll. In the same poll, the most recent percentage in favor of deportations is a stark rise from the 42% in 2015 and 36% in 2016 who agreed with the action, Enten noted.

“This is where I think you get very interesting, so we’ll take a look at that ABC News question in particular, and you can really see that there’s been a massive shift from when Trump was first getting into office 8 years ago … You go back to 2015, it was 42%. Go to 2016, it was 36%. Look at where we are now,” Enten said. “This was taken at the end of last year, 56%. This is 20 points higher than it was just before Trump got into office the first time. So feelings towards immigration in this country, feelings toward undocumented immigrants and deporting all of them have become considerably more hawkish and I think it gives Donald Trump much more leverage to go with the American people and sort of have these hawkish, some might say harsh, different rhetoric and issue-based of going after immigrants who are here illegally.”
“So I think the American people are going to give Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt in doing what he wants to do, at least if you believe these blunt questions, including this one,” Enten continued.
The number of encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border rose to historic highs during former President Joe Biden’s administration, which resulted in roughly 8.5 million migrant encounters throughout its four fiscal years. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
