Americans Reject $450k Payout to Illegal Immigrants, Want Border Closed Immediately
67 percent of American Voters Disapprove of Biden’s Plan to Pay $450k Settlements to Illegal Immigrants
55 percent of American Voters Say President Biden Should Close Southern Border Till Crisis Fixed
(Austin, TX—November 08, 2021) 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 November 1 through November 4 of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.
“We were not surprised by the election results in VA and NJ. For more than six months, our polling has consistently found that overwhelming majorities of Americans in all parties are opposed to the insane policies coming out of Washington, DC since Biden came to office. As soon as Americans had a chance to register their views at the ballot box, everyone saw the results. For the good of the nation and for the good for their own party, the left needs to reverse course immediately and get back to common sense,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action.”Halting ridiculous payments to criminals who violated our laws and came here illegally would be a good start, and stopping more of those people from illegally crossing would be another one.”
