But when you dig down into the details of how that might be accomplished, that support erodes pretty quickly. I talked to Mallory Newell. She's a vice president at Ipsos, which conducted this poll. Here is her take on what is happening.

Take some of the more hardline Trump administration proposals, for example, detaining migrants at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, as we were just discussing, or allowing immigration authorities to make arrests in schools and churches. Those proposals still have a lot of support from Republicans, but they were broadly unpopular in this poll with Democrats and even with many independents.

Yeah, this NPR Ipsos poll shows that Republicans, for the most part, are very united in support of the president's crackdown. Four out of five support deporting all immigrants without legal status. Three out of four support denying federal funding to sanctuary cities that limit their cooperation with immigration authorities. And a big majority of Republicans say the U.S.

Democrats, on the other hand, are opposed to basically all of President Trump's immigration crackdown, but especially his push to end birthright citizenship for children of immigrants who do not have permanent legal status in the U.S. Democrats also are opposed to challenging sanctuary cities, and they don't like a proposal to allow the U.S. military to make arrests and deport migrants.

Some of these proposals are being challenged in federal court, including the proposal on birthright citizenship, which is blocked, at least for now.

Yeah, I think there are a couple of things that stand out. Take the border wall, for example. We started asking in 2018 about expanding the wall along the entire U.S.-Mexico border. Back then, only 38 percent of Americans supported that. Now it's up to nearly half. At the same time, we have seen a steady erosion of support for DREAMers.

These are immigrants without legal status who were brought to the country as children. When we first started asking, almost two-thirds of poll respondents favored a path to legal status for DREAMers. In our most recent poll, that support fell below 50% for the first time.
