"Voters' Views on Immigration Crisis at U.S.-Mexico Border"

A recent poll shows that while a majority of Americans still believe in the importance of the U.S.'s openness to immigrants, support for this idea has decreased. The $118.3 billion immigration deal has been declared dead by Republican leaders, frustrating bipartisan negotiators and some Democrats. President Biden urged Congress to pass the deal, but his handling of immigration gets poor marks from 60% of U.S. adults. Ramping up border security and reducing illegal crossings is seen as the top priority by 41% of Americans. The poll also indicates that if the 2024 presidential election were held today, national registered voters are about as likely to support Biden as they are to vote for Trump.
