A sizeable majority of people who voted in the 2022 midterm elections back measures to quash illegal immigration, according to a recent Rasmussen Reports and NumbersUSA survey.

The poll found that 67% of voters endorsed a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, and 69% support the E-Verify national system that would punish employers who hire illegal immigrants.

In addition, voters favored ending so-called "family chain migration" policies, which allow legal immigrants to bring in their immediate family and potentially other adult relatives, by a 2-to-1 margin.

Voters also said they supported limiting the current rate of legal immigration as well, with 67% saying the government should add no more than 750,000 new immigrants a year. That's down from the current average of over 1 million annually.

"This polling is remarkable. It shows clearly that most American voters of every type, party and ideology agree that immigration needs to be brought under much better control," said NumbersUSA Vice President of Operations Jim Robb.

Support for amnesty also appears to have dwindled. Only a majority of Democrats backed lifetime work permits for illegal immigrants, while 68% of Republicans and 58% of unaffiliated voters said otherwise.
