The Washington Examiner reports Rasmussen Reports poll results which look at public attitudes toward illegal immigration. Since the Biden inauguration in January, the trend has been sharply downward.
Rasmussen’s Immigration Index uses a baseline of 100 [to] gauge voter sentiment. A number below 100 indicates support for a more restrictionist policy. The number is 86, down nearly 15 points since Election Day. The change suggests that voters fear that immigration is or will soon be out of control.
And Rasmussen adds:
The new president also has indicated that he wants to legalize all illegal immigrants in the country, and 39% favor giving lifetime work permits to most of the estimated 12 million illegal residents of all ages who currently reside in the United States, with 18% who strongly favor it. Fifty-four percent are opposed, including 36% who are strongly opposed.
Translation for those who don’t like math, President Biden’s immigration policies are offensive to a clear majority of Americans, and highly attractive to fewer than one in five. Immigration was a potent issue for Trump in 2016, and bids fair to be the same for the Republican nominee in 2024. Hat tip to Instapundit for the link.
