Latest Monmouth University poll
revealed on Monday The Biden administration’s mishandling of the border crisis has led to a spike in public concern about illegal immigration. More than 8 in 10 Americans perceive illegal immigration to be either a very serious problem (61%) or a somewhat serious problem (23%).
In a 2015 poll, 66% of Republicans, 42% of independents, and 33% of Democrats said illegal immigration was a very serious problem. Nine years later, these numbers had jumped to 91%, 58%, and 41%, respectively.
“Illegal immigration has emerged as a defining issue in this presidential election year.”
Said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Public Opinion Research Institute. “Other Monmouth polls have found this to be Mr. Biden’s weakest policy area, even among his fellow Democrats.”
For the first time since the Monmouth polling organization began asking this question nationally in 2015, a majority of Americans (53%) support building a border wall, while 46% support building a border wall. He indicated that he remains opposed to securing the border.
When the question was first posed in September 2015, 48% of respondents expressed support for the wall. During the Trump administration, support for the wall reached a high of 44% and dropped to a low of 35%.
In 2015, support for the wall among Republicans was 73%. It has since increased to 86%. Support among independents has also surged from 47% to 58% over the past nine years.
Despite overall concern about the border among Democrats, support for a border wall has actually fallen from 31% to 17%.
Since 2019, support for keeping foreigners seeking asylum in Mexico has grown among all partisan groups. Currently, 61% of Americans think people should wait to be processed on the other side of the border. This desire for remote processing may have been driven by increased concerns about crime.
Roughly one in three Americans (32%) believe that illegal aliens are more likely to commit violent crimes such as rape and murder. This is an 11-point increase compared to the 2019 poll and a 15-point jump compared to the 2015 response.
Democrats have suggested that Republicans may have abandoned a winning relief package by opposing the so-called border bill in their latest attempt to shift blame for the border crisis. According to a Monmouth poll, Americans were not convinced that the bill had a significant effect on addressing the crisis.
47% of respondents said the border bill is “not tough enough in dealing with illegal immigration.” 77% of Republicans and 48% of independents agreed.
“These results show why border agreements are invalidated on arrival. Most rank-and-file Republicans and many independents, even without knowing exactly what’s in the bill, want to protect illegal immigrants. “I believe the Senate Republican leadership may have tried to sell this bill, but it almost certainly would have been in vain if Donald Trump opposed the bill,” Murray said. said.
according to Since President Biden took office until last month, 7,332,800 foreign nationals have illegally stolen from the U.S. southern border, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
