Title: Poll: Fewer than one-quarter of Republicans in Congress support border wall funding
Post by: Free Vulcan on September 20, 2017, 01:14:37 pm

Fewer than one-quarter of the Republicans on Capitol Hill who responded to a new survey said that they support President Trump's $1.6 billion budget request to start building his border wall.

According to a survey conducted by USA Today, 69 of the 292 Republicans on Capitol Hill said "yes" when asked if they supported the border wall funding.

Three Republicans said they opposed it, including Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Reps. Steve Pearce (R-N.M.) and Will Hurd (R-Texas).

The majority of Republicans declined to answer the question or did not respond at all, USA Today noted.

I support enforcement of immigration laws and the security of our borders.  I don't really care how that's done.

Fake news.

The poll is misleading.

69 Republicans said "yes".

3 said "no".
