With President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump both visiting Texas on Thursday to advocate for their respective border and immigration policies, polls show that a majority of Americans, and Texans, including Hispanic and Black Texans, support Trump’s policies.
The majority of American voters say they support building a border wall, a policy Trump implemented that Biden ended on his first day in office, according to a newly released Monmouth University Polling Institute report.
“Public concern about illegal immigration is higher during President Joe Biden’s term than it was under the prior two administrations,” the institute said.
It also noted that “a majority of Americans support building a border wall for the first time since” the institute began asking the question in 2015. Nearly half of voters surveyed said a Democratic-led U.S. Senate border bill “is not tough enough on illegal immigration.”
