The vast majority of Americans – 81 percent – believe that illegal immigration into the United States is becoming a “serious problem” for the country, according to a recent survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports, which found that majorities from all political parties share concerns about the number of people entering the country.
Of those who believe it is a serious problem, more than half – 52 percent – argue it is a “very serious” issue. Only 16 percent of those surveyed do not consider illegal migration a serious problem.
Rasmussen pollsters also asked the 996 likely U.S. voters, “which political party do you trust more to handle immigration.” Only 37 percent of respondents said they trusted Joe Biden and the Democrats more than Republicans, compared to 49 percent who have more trust in the GOP. That includes 54 percent of white people, 39 percent of black people, and 53 percent of “other minorities.”
Among independent voters, the number of those trusting the Republicans increased to 51 percent and reduced to just 23 percent for those who said the Democrats.
Since Biden took office in January 2021, more than 10 million illegal migrants have entered the United States: the largest number in history.
