Nearly Two-Thirds of Hispanic Voters Support Closing Southern Border Until Immigration Crisis Fixed
“Majority of American Voters Overall Support Temporarily Closing Southern Border.”
(Austin, TX—May 4, 2022) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted April 24th through April 27th of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.
“The fact that a majority of American voters, including nearly two-thirds of Hispanic voters, want to take the drastic step of temporarily closing our southern border shows that Americans see the impending disaster we face if the border crisis goes unchecked.” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “But while President Biden and Democratic leadership ignores our border agencies’ being stretched dangerously thin, the flow of sex trafficking and drugs continuing unchecked across our borders, and criminal cartels run amok–the American people are noticing, and will respond accordingly in November.”
