More Latinos Than Ever Want a Border Wall, Mass Deportations.
The construction of a border wall between the United States and Mexico is now supported by nearly half of Latino voters, according to a new poll. Additionally, almost 40 percent of those same voters support deporting all illegal immigrants from the U.S.
According to the Axios-Ipsos survey, support for the border wall has jumped 12–points since December 2021, with 42 percent of Latino voters saying they now support the construction. The survey also — for the first time — asked Latino voters if they backed the president closing the U.S.-Mexico border if too many illegal immigrants were seen crossing into the country. Nearly two-thirds of respondents (64 percent) believed the president should have the authority to close the border.
Overall, immigration ranked as the third most important issue for Latino voters — behind crime and inflation. Over the past several months, polls have shown consistent weakness for President Joe Biden on all three issues — with voters overwhelmingly saying that former President Donald Trump is more capable of handling these problems.
