A number of recent polls show widespread dissatisfaction with the Biden-Harris administration's border and immigration policies, and that Americans overwhelmingly support deploying troops to secure the southern border.
A Napolitan News Service poll showed that 84% of registered voters believe "illegal immigration is bad for the United States," compared to 12% who say it's good.
When it comes to legal immigration, a resounding 71% of registered voters said they support it.
As for what counts as the most important issue, 49% of respondents cited crime as their top concern.
In a separate Napolitan poll, 75% of those surveyed said they favored sending U.S. troops to confront drug cartels and secure the border.
"That's up significantly since President Biden took office and the total includes 90% of Republicans and 62% of Democrats," Napolitan News Service said in its analysis.
This sentiment is echoed in multiple other polls, including a Rasmussen Reports poll, where nearly two-thirds considered the border situation an "invasion."
Support for border security measures, such as building a wall and deploying additional resources, remains strong, particularly in Texas. One University of Texas/Texas Politics Project poll found that the majority of Texans, including Hispanic and Black voters, back these positions.
