The number of Hispanic Americans who endorse building a border wall and deporting illegal migrants has jumped at least 10% — while the vast majority support the president even shutting down the besieged southern border, according to a new poll.
Four in ten Hispanic Americans (42%) want a wall along the US-Mexico border, an Axios and Ipsos poll released this week found — a 12 percentage point jump from December 2021. Thirty-eight percent also supported sending migrants back to their home countries, up 10 percentage points from three years prior.
A whopping 64% of Hispanic Americans surveyed also said they would support giving the president the authority to shut the border if too many migrants start coming into the country.
The poll surveyed more than 1,000 voting-age Hispanic Americans between March 22 and March 28.
