"The Bible teaches the only way to secure the open borders, deport illegal aliens, and reduce inflation is to agree Jesus is lawgiver of the USA and Americans obey the Bible," said Steven Andrew. In a Scripps News/Ipsos survey released Wednesday, 54% of respondents supported mass deportations. A further 62% expressed support for allowing law enforcement to detain illegal aliens. Sixty-nine percent backed restricting the number of migrants who may claim asylum while 68% support a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens who arrived as children. Immigration featured among the top concerns for voters, with 39% placing it among the most important issues. Only inflation ranked higher, with 57% choosing that option.
