An overwhelming number of Donald Trump supporters back his position of building a wall along the Mexican border to keep immigrants out of the U.S. A new Pew Research Center study finds that 84 percent of Republican voters aligned with the party's presumptive nominee are in favor of such a policy.

In addition, nearly 7-in-10 Trump supporters, or 69 percent, insist immigrants are a burden on the U.S. because "they take our jobs, housing and health care."

Trump Supporters Favor Mass Deportations

Overall, 52 percent of GOP voters who identify as Trump supporters agree undocumented immigrants should not be allowed to remain in the U.S., even if they meet a list of specified requirements. Of that total, 40 percent of GOP voters insist there should be a "national effort to deport."

That mindset would seemingly be in keeping with Trump's line of thinking, as he has vowed to deport as many as 11 million immigrants if he is elected as commander in chief.

Trump has also pledged to build that aforementioned wall along the border, which he insists Mexico will be forced to pay for "in one form or another."

By comparison, 64 percent of non-Trump supporters agree undocumented immigrants should be allowed to remain in the U.S. once they have met certain requirements, with two of every three of those voters in support of ultimately providing them a legal path to citizenship.

Only 47 percent of GOP voters who consider themselves non-Trump supporters admit they consider immigrants a burden and just 25 percent of them favor a national effort to deport.

Trump Backers Think U.S., too Involved in World Issues

More generally, 65 percent of Trump supporters view U.S. involvement in the global economy as misguided and 54 percent of them insist the country tries to do too much when it comes to solving world problems.

Roughly two out of every three Trump supporters (64 percent) also insist Muslims residing in the U.S. should be subject to tighter scrutiny than individuals of other religious faiths.
