The percentage of Latinos who say they support building a border wall and deporting all undocumented immigrants has jumped by at least 10 points since 2021, according to the latest Axios-Ipsos Latino Poll in partnership with Noticias Telemundo.

Why it matters: The findings suggest former President Trump's calls for more border security — and perhaps his anti-immigrant rhetoric — are registering even among people who may have ties to immigration.

Hispanics are inching toward more conservative positions on border management, though they remain supportive of asylum and a path to citizenship for immigrants lacking permanent legal status, according to an Ipsos/Telemundo poll of Hispanic adults released this week.

Hispanics also view President Biden as less engaged and less representative of their interests than the Democratic Party as a whole.

Injuries suffered by migrants scaling the U.S-Mexico border wall have been "devastating," according to a hospital physician within walking distance of an area that many Texans have dubbed a crisis.

Texas has been a national epicenter of the escalating political flap surrounding illegal immigration with Governor Greg Abbott's ongoing feud with President Joe Biden. Abbott and statewide officials have attempted to enact their own legislation, essentially allowing them to subvert the federal government and enforce their own deportation laws.

In its latest legal battle with Texas, the Biden administration is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to approve the removal of razor wire placed along the southern border between the Lone Star State and Mexico.

President Joe Biden's administration said on Thursday it will add sections to a border wall to stave off record migrant crossings from Mexico, carrying forward a signature policy of former President Donald Trump.

Trump is the frontrunner for the Republican Party nomination to challenge Biden, a Democrat, in the 2024 presidential race. Trump made building border barriers a central tenet of his first campaign for president with the rally chant, "Build That Wall."

“There will not be another foot of wall constructed,” then-candidate Joe Biden said in an interview with Black and Latino journalists in August 2020 when asked about his immigration policy. Yet on Thursday, a year after a Government Accountability Office report said former President Donald Trump’s border wall resulted in “significant damage and destruction” to the environment and cultural sites, the Department of Homeland Security announced that it had waived 26 federal laws, allowing border wall construction to continue.

After the Department of Homeland Security announced it would waive laws to enable miles of border wall construction in Texas, President Joe Biden said he “can’t stop” the money being spent on border barriers because of the way it was appropriated by Congress. That’s correct, experts told us.

President Joe Biden's decision to move forward with the construction of new border wall reflects a failure of his immigration policies amid widespread criticism ahead of next year's election.

The move, originally announced over the summer, first received widespread media coverage in October after Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas waived more than 20 environmental laws, kick-starting the process despite the president's campaign promise not to continue the Trump administration's border policies.

Immigration was dead simple when Joseph R. Biden Jr. was campaigning for president: It was an easy way to attack Donald J. Trump as a racist, and it helped to rally Democrats with the promise of a more humane border policy.

Nothing worked better than Mr. Trump’s “big, beautiful wall” that he was building along the southern border. Its existence was as much a metaphor for the polarization inside America as it was a largely ineffective barrier against foreigners fleeing to the United States from Central America.
