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 unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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.
