The poll found that “69% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the current situation with migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border is a crisis – even more than the 66% who believed the border was in crisis in May 2021.”

While only 19% of those polled said they do not believe the border situation is a crisis, and another 12% said they are not sure. 

The poll also asked respondents if they agree or disagree with the statement that “There is a crisis at the border ‘because the Biden Administration has refused to enforce immigration laws and finish the border wall’?”
50% of the respondents said they “Strongly Agree” with the statement that the border crisis is due to Biden’s inaction.

While another 12% said they “somewhat” agree with the statement, meaning that over 62% of respondents say they agree that “There is a crisis at the border ‘because the Biden Administration has refused to enforce immigration laws and finish the border wall”.
