When it comes to immigration, one thing is clear: Americans overwhelmingly favor building a border wall and strongly enforcing existing immigration laws, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
"Since President Biden took office in 2021, immigration rules have been loosened, allowing for the entry of 5 million undocumented immigrants from around the world, according to the government's own count. How would you address the immigration issue?".
That was No. 2, chosen by 42%. No. 1, which similarly called for a crackdown on border crossings and a border wall but didn't include deportation as a possibility, garnered 16% of all responses.
That's a 58% majority favoring at minimum a wall and more border enforcement, and a plurality of 42% favoring deportations to go along with the increased border controls.
Democrats were more likely than Republicans to choose the two least-restrictive options: the "Open border" option No. 4, and the "Tighten somewhat, but no deportations" option No. 3, for a slim total Democrat majority of 51%. Republicans went big for the more-restrictive options, No. 1 and especially No. 2, for a total of 86%. A majority of independents also selected the restrictive responses No. 1 and No. 2, for a total of 53% of independents.
What does this all mean? When you dig in, you see that a solid majority of likely voters are eager to limit illegal immigration across our now-porous borders, and that a plurality want those here illegally to be deported.
