New poll shows how many Americans want to bar all immigration from surprising countries

A poll released on Wednesday from Morning Consult found that many Americans are in favor of barring immigration from certain parts of the world - even from countries bordering the US.

Donald Trump injected a strong anti-immigration sentiment into the political conversation. More recently, he's reintroduced his proposal for an indefinite barring of Muslim immigration into the country - a suggestion widely condemned by elected Republicans.

But despite being fiercely rejected by elected Republican leaders, nearly half of Republicans polled by Morning Consult said that they "strongly" support such a plan, while 48% of all Americans said they support barring Muslim immigration.

Morning Consult asked respondents whether they support an overall ban on immigration from 11 countries: Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Mexico, Egypt, Belgium, France, and Canada.

that we stole land and life and homestead and child from native inhabitants in order that we stand here on this plate of inevitable shift and sway and proclaim rights over every other living being not currently fortunate enough to inhabit the stolen lands we reside upon. As my wife said, [we] stole America long before the Constitution. Every person on this planet matters to someone, damned if be you or someone else. My family were immigrants and so were yours. Not a single fucking person living here today can say they have any rights over another human being due to residency. That doesn't mean we should make all the same mistakes our ancestors made in raping and whoring the natives who once called this rock home.
