Support for Mexican Border Fence shoots Up to 68%
Rasmussen Reports ^ | Rasmussen

Posted on 07/29/2010 8:50:46 AM PDT by sunmars

Support for the building of a fence along the Mexican border has reached a new high, and voters are more confident than ever that illegal immigration can be stopped.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of U.S. voters now believe the United States should continue to build a fence on the Mexican border. That’s up nine points from March when the Obama administration halted funding for the fence and the highest level of support ever.

Just 21% oppose the continued building of the border fence.

Support for the fence is strong across all demographic groups. But while 76% of Mainstream voters think the United States should continue to build the fence, 67% of the Political Class are opposed to it.

Forty-seven percent (47%) of all voters believe it is possible to end illegal immigration. That’s up slightly from April of last year.

Now only 36% do not think it is possible for the United States to prevent illegal immigrants from getting into the country. That’s down sixteen points since October 2008.

What a wall! Now that’s what I’m talkin’ ‘bout!

I recently read on FR someone’s excellent point that the US has successfully defended the South Korean border from the North since 1953, but we’re told we can’t secure our own southern border... heh

round the dems necks,

Not just the dims. Remember Jorge Busho was open borders all the way. So is Mcpain. I dare say we'll have a hard time finding a viable Republican candidate for prez that's got his mind right about immigration.
