Today, Heritage Action for America released the results of two new opinion polls on immigration conducted in battleground districts across the nation. The polls, conducted March 22-25, asked voters’ opinions on policies relating to illegal immigration, the border crisis, and Biden’s immigration policy. Together, the results show a wide majority of Americans in congressional battleground districts and suburban swing counties reject Biden’s border policy and blame those policies for the current border crisis:

64% of battleground voters reject Biden ending construction on the border wall.

73% of battleground voters recognize the rampant abuse of the asylum system driving the crisis and believe fraudulent asylum-seekers should be deported and prevented from re-applying, and 67% agree with President Trump’s remain-in-Mexico policy for asylum-seekers.

70% of battleground voters recognize the skyrocketing cost of the border crisis and agree that illegal immigrants are costing taxpayers billions of dollars, which we simply cannot afford.

56% of battleground voters recognize that President Biden caused the crisis when he issued executive orders eliminating a number of tough Trump policies with regard to illegal immigration.
