(NewsNation) — Nearly three months after U.S. Border Patrol officials encountered a record number of migrant encounters at the southern border, immigration remains a major issue on the minds of most Americans.
That includes U.S. Hispanics, 75% of whom describe the increase in migrants crossing the southern border as a major problem or crisis, a recent Pew Research poll showed. Of those polled, 74% are also critical of the U.S. government’s handling of the crisis.
However, Hispanics are less likely than non-Hispanics to describe what’s happening with migrants crossing the border as a crisis, the Pew poll revealed. Hispanics are also less likely to consider the situation a crisis as only 38% of those polled fall into that category. Other categories included “major problem”, “minor problem” and “not a problem”, of which only 6% of Hispanics and 4% of non-Hispanics chose.

Among non-Hispanics, 47% consider the situation a crisis rather than a major problem. Most of the migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border are coming from Latin American countries, data shows, but more newcomers are arriving from places like China, Russia and India.
