Tom Perez, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), was confronted by the poll results during an appearance on "CBS News 24/7." The survey conducted by CBS News and YouGov between June 5 and June 7 found that 62 percent of registered voters favor having a government program to deport all illegal immigrants.
"I'd love to sit down with your polling team and show them how they've gotten this wrong," said Perez. He also cited other polls that purportedly showed the opposite.
Biden announced a sweeping new policy that would lift the threat of deportation for hundreds of thousands of people married to U.S. citizens, something the senior adviser commented on during his CBS News appearance. According to Perez, the decision was something morally and legally correct, and even popular.
"It's the right thing to do, it's the legal thing to do and it's the smart thing to do," he said. "We're keeping families … [and] communities together, and we've got a workforce shortage."
The CBS News/YouGov poll surveyed 1,615 registered voters and had a margin of error of 3.8 points. It also found that based on ethnicity, mass deportation was popular with Hispanics (53 percent for, 47 percent against) and Whites (67 percent for, 33 percent against). However, the poll also showed that a majority supported Biden's recent executive action at the southern border. (Related: Poll: Majority of Hispanics favor MASS DEPORTATIONS of illegals.)

Incidentally, the survey's results mirror an earlier poll by Axios. The results of this prior poll, which were published in April, found that majority of Americans – including 45 percent of Hispanics – support the mass deportations of illegals.
Trump proposes use of National Guard to deport illegals
According to the Daily Mail, Biden's recent executive actions at the southern border seek to manage asylum claims and control border crossings more effectively. Foremost of this is an executive order suspending the entry of migrants once the number of average border encounters in a day hits 2,500 for seven days in a row. The idea is to make it easier to remove newly arrived migrants should they not have a legal basis to remain in the United States.
Biden defended himself, insisting he preferred more lasting action via legislation. "Republicans have left me no choice," the chief executive remarked, stressing his belief that "immigration has always been the lifeblood of America." But the executive action did not sit well with his allies in the Democratic Party.
The former vice president during the Obama administration opened his presidency with promises to fight for widespread relief for the millions of immigrants who live in the country without permanent legal status. But as the number of migrants reached historic levels, Biden enacted a border clampdown that critics say is similar to those pursued by his predecessor.
Meanwhile, Trump has proposed using the National Guard to deport illegal immigrants, planning what he calls "the largest domestic deportation operation in American history."
