Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently published report revealing hundreds of thousands of criminals have illegally entered the country. The report said, “as of July 21, 2024, nearly 650,000 criminal illegal aliens were currently on ICE’s Non-Detained Docket (NDD) and roaming free in communities throughout the United States.”

MIG Reports analysis shows this story specifically eliciting anger from all voters, but especially Independents. This analysis examines voter discussions, including surface-level reactions and the deeper meaning underlying sentiment.

Border Security Conversations

Discussions about border security are dominated by concerns over public safety. Independents are particularly critical of the Biden-Harris administration for its immigration policies.

  • 61% express disappointment in the administration's border leniency.
  • 55% support Trump’s stricter border policies, reflecting a belief that his approach was more effective at safeguarding national integrity.
  • 30% have mixed sentiment, indicating dissatisfaction with both major parties.

The use of third-person language in these discussions displays collective outrage toward Biden and Harris, distancing the commenters from personal accountability and broadly critiquing political failures.

Immigration Conversations

When discussing immigration more broadly, Independents voice mixed opinions.

  • 70% have negative views of the Biden-Harris administration, critiquing its leniency and failure to manage vast migrant surges.
  • 40% are optimistic toward Trump’s potential return to office.
  • 30% are concerned about how immigration is framed, focusing on treating migrants humanely, and questioning the validity of rampant criminality.

Citizen and community safety is a critical concern for Independents, though some want more comprehensive, humane immigration reform.

Deeper Meaning Analysis

Beyond direct conversations, larger themes emerge. Most Independents express disillusionment with the current political leadership. Particularly in relation to border security, but also in broader governance.

  • 30% of Independents express hope for a third-party candidate, indicating growing dissatisfaction with both Democrats and Republicans.

They consistently use both first- and third-person language, showing a divide between personal stakes and collective critiques. This suggests Independents are politically disengaged as well as frustrated with a lack of effective solutions. This discontent could signal a shift in voter mobilization, with many expressing a desire for accountability and stronger leadership.

Urgency in Reactions

A strong sense of urgency underpins many conversations. Many present the upcoming election as critical, emphasizing decisions on immigration and border security must be made now to prevent further chaos. Some comments describe voting as a life-or-death decision, stressing immediate action as necessary to secure the nation. This heightened urgency appears to drive a belief that leadership—particularly Trump’s—is necessary to restore order and protect national interests. This signals an energized and mobilized electorate, which includes many Independents.
