Majority of Americans want to build a border wall: poll
Sixty-one percent of respondents, moreover, supported keeping asylum applicants in Mexico while their claims are processed.

Amid an unprecedented surge in illegal border crossings under President Joe Biden, a majority of Americans want to build a wall on the southern border to impede illegal entry.

Fifty-three percent of respondents in a recent Monmouth University survey support building a border wall along the Mexican frontier while 46% oppose such a move. The result marks the first time a majority of Americans have supported building the wall since Monmouth began asking the question in 2015.

Sixty-one percent of respondents, moreover, supported keeping asylum applicants in Mexico while their claims are processed. Respondents were also skeptical of the recent Senate border deal that paired foreign aid with border security reforms. Forty-seven percent said the deal was not sufficiently tough on illegal immigration, compared to 28% who said it was sufficient, and 12% who said it was too strict.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Why don't these people invite the illegals into their homes to make it better? :whistle:

This is a profound shift in attitude, and one that explains Joe Biden's persistent weakness in polling.

At the rate things are going, that may become mandatory.  God help us!

Ah .... mass deportation will do no good without a wall.

I am still holding on to some hope.
