Most Americans in a new survey said they support the Biden administration hiring more border patrol agents and immigration judges as migrant surges persist at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Associated Press-NORC Center survey, released Friday, found that the majority of the public agrees with policy ideas related to immigration and security at the southern border, as legislation regarding the issue is currently stalled in the divided Congress.
Roughly 58 percent of respondents said they strongly or somewhat favor the U.S. hiring more immigration judges and court personnel to speed up the process for asylum seekers. The survey also found that 64 percent strongly or somewhat favor hiring more border patrol agents.
