Only one third believe Biden’s border strategy is superior
Just one third of Americans believe that Joe Biden’s border strategy is superior to that of the Trump administration, according to a new poll, with the majority preferring not to have an open door immigration policy.
The Rasmussen poll found that 51 percent of voters prefer the way it was under Trump, with only 32 percent saying it is now better at the border under Biden.
The poll also bizarrely found that 11 percent believe the policies have the same efficacy.
The survey also revealed that the majority feel it is a “bad decision” to release some 15,000 Haitian migrants into the US.
As we noted earlier this week, DHS Secretary Mayorkas admitted that the migrants were simply allowed to enter the country, with many likely never to attend follow up asylum hearings.
Mayorkas declared that the flood of illegal migrants at the border, and the subsequent release of thousands of them into the U.S. is “one of our proudest traditions.”
Fox News host Chris Wallace asked why the Biden administration hasn’t erected a “wall or a fence” in response to the crisis.
Mayorkas responded “It is the policy of this administration: we do not agree with the building of the wall.”
When asked exactly how many migrants have come into the U.S. from the latest wave, Mayorkas said “I think it’s about ten thousand or so, twelve thousand,” adding “It could be even higher. The number that are returned could be even higher. What we do is we follow the law as Congress has passed it.”
Wallace also noted that almost half of the migrants are never seen again, failing to appear at asylum court hearings.
“There are more than 11 million people in this country illegally. Clearly, despite your best efforts, millions of people end up in this country and don’t – just disappear,” Wallace noted.
Watch:
In addition, while thousands of undocumented migrants have been released into the country unvaccinated, Mayorkas is set to FIRE border patrol agents who do not get the shots.
