McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — Support for a border wall has doubled in the past four years in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, according to a new study by the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
But the study also found that a majority of local South Texas residents — 65% — still oppose border wall construction on the Mexican border.
