The Poll Nobody’s Talking About — but Should Be
Voters want to ‘build the wall’, make it harder to get asylum and easier to expel migrants, and hire more Border Patrol agents — so why isn’t that happening?
By Andrew R. Arthur on March 22, 2024
The latest Yahoo! News/YouGov poll is out, and you likely haven’t heard anything about it — though you should have. It shows that solid majorities of American voters favor “building a wall” at the Southwest border, making it harder for aliens to receive asylum and easier for the government to expel migrants, and hiring more Border Patrol agents and asylum officers. It makes you wonder why none of those things are happening.
The poll was conducted between March 8 and 11, and involved 1,482 U.S. adults — and more importantly, nearly 1,000 registered voters.
Presidential Approval on Immigration
As with most such polls conducted over the past three years, this one shows a majority of Americans disapprove of President Biden’s handling of immigration.
Just 33 percent of respondents approve of the job Joe Biden is doing on immigration, while 57 percent disapprove. Among registered voters, Biden’s doing both better and worse, with 36 percent approving and 57 percent disapproving. Those numbers are even worse for the administration than they appear.

That's easily enough answered. The administration/congress don't give a shit what the people think or want. :yowsa:

Since when do the PTB give one hoot in hell about what we, the great unwashed, want?

Our government is absolute, utterly, and infinitely corrupt. So much anger and agnst is directed toward external issues, when in essence ALL of our issues are root caused by what is truly the biggest threat and enemy of us all..... DC politicians, and their toadie Swamp dwellers.
Until there is a 1789 like moment, we will continue to circle the drain.

From the article:
"Voters want to ‘build the wall’, make it harder to get asylum and easier to expel migrants, and hire more Border Patrol agents — so why isn’t that happening?"
What a fool this writer is.
It's "not happening" because The Party is in control.
There's not much more to say...
... Except that... if the party happens to lose The White House in November, watch for the border to be dissolved completely -- no policing at all. Remember where you read this first.

You have the date wrong.
Once again I will ask:
Is it time yet for that new "Heartland Continental Congress" ???

There is purpose in the open southern border.
This has been a major issue since the 80s.
Over and over again
Dems just make it worse
And Pubs let it happen.
There is a purpose to it.

Right. They have been slathered with nonsense about being "the ruling class" and have forgotten they are public servants.
