Democratic Voters Are Increasingly Concerned About Immigration and the Border
by Lisa Irving
Now 100 days into the Biden Administration, troubling news on the border mounts. The number of migrants taken into custody has been rising, reaching 171,000 in March, the highest number seen in at least 15 years. Included in this March total are a record 18,800 unaccompanied teenagers and children.The surge overwhelms border agents, who estimate that about 1,000 illegal migrants cross the border undetected daily.
Although the Biden Administration reaches its 100 day mark with enthusiastic Democratic support, recent polling on immigration and the border shows that these are areas where there is growing concern among Democratic voters.
