Big Majority Say Border Security Is a Serious Issue

A new Monmouth poll finds more than 8 in 10 Americans see illegal immigration as either a very serious (61%) or somewhat serious (23%) problem.

A majority of Americans support building a border wall for the first time since Monmouth started asking this question in 2015.

And nearly half say the bipartisan border deal that was blocked in the U.S. Senate earlier this month is not tough enough on illegal immigration.
