Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe illegal immigration is real crisis, not a media narrative: poll

Nearly two thirds of Americans believe illegal immigration is a real crisis, and not a media narrative, according to a poll published on Thursday. 

The Axios survey conducted by The Harris Poll also found that 51% of Americans would support mass deportations of illegal immigrants, which included 42% of Democrats, 46% of independents and 68% of Republicans. 

Illegal immigration remains a top issue for voters in the upcoming election, amid a record number of border crossings since President Biden took office.
