    For Fox News viewers it's 82%. I'm Jewish so I was curious about this...

    Four in ten Jewish Americans (39%)

    Great just great. The lessons of the Holocaust have already been forgotten by American Jews.

    Rounding Up Illegal Immigrants into Militarized Encampments

    Americans are divided over support for a policy that would round up and deport immigrants who are in the country illegally, even if it takes setting up encampments guarded by the U.S. military (47% favor, 50% oppose). Nearly eight in ten Republicans (79%) favor putting undocumented immigrants in encampments, compared with 47% of independents and 22% of Democrats.

    The vast majority of Americans who most trust far-right news (91%) or Fox News (82%) favor militarized encampments for undocumented immigrants, compared with 44% of Americans who do not watch TV news and 36% who most trust mainstream TV news.

    White evangelical Protestants (75%) are most likely to favor militarized encampments for undocumented immigrants, followed by the majority of white Catholics (61%), white mainline/non-evangelical Protestants (58%), and Latter-day Saints (56%). Among non-white Christians, around 47% of Hispanic Protestants, 42% of Black Protestants, and 33% of Hispanic Catholics favor this policy. Four in ten Jewish Americans (39%) and around three in ten unaffiliated Americans (32%) and other non-Christian religions (30%) also support militarized encampments. More than half of Americans who attend church weekly or more (57%) or at least a few times a year (51%) favor putting illegal immigrants in encampments, compared with 41% who seldom or never attend religious services.

    Around seven in ten Christian nationalism Adherents and Sympathizers (71%) favor militarized encampments, compared with fewer than four in ten Rejecters and Skeptics (37%).

      I'm not sure the lessons of the Holocaust have ever been learned outside of the Soviet Union.

      Well, at least that's below average... bleak.

      The one that drew my attention was Hispanic Catholics at 33%. Like, come on, you understand that we're the ones they're gonna put in the camps?

        Fucking insanity. Like, I speak perfect English, I and one of my parents are both natural born citizens, and none of that shit is going to matter once they start rounding up people that look like me. How dumb do you have to be to think they'll stop at undocumented immigrants once they get a taste for it?
