Not sure how much you can really take from this question. I would say yes and yet I still believe in both mass deportations and in reducing legal immigration, especially H1B visas.

Allowing massive illegal immigration, especially huge economic “welcoming” costs, helped define 2024 election.
The other side of the coin:
The various costs of, indiscriminately, deporting massive numbers of illegal migrants, could define future elections.

Is there some way to hack this phenomenon as an elected official with power? Keep flip flopping policies to time the swing back in your direction perfectly with the next election?
Even though there was a swing the approve of immigration level is consistently high and that gives me hope
It is. Legal immigration is a super power, especially given native-born US citizens birthrate being well below replacement, and getting worse.

Totally relatable! How many times has it happened that at first "yeah, cool!", and a couple of days later "what have I done"

This is response bias in action. If you think this country (or any part of the Western world) is pro immigration, you are delusional.
I take NO pleasure in reporting this. Just tired of people coping with issue polling
