Concerns over the Biden-Harris border crisis have surged amid a wave of horrific news stories of crimes conducted by suspected illegal immigrants, and a new poll shows that Americans blame “border czar” Vice President Kamala Harris.
In the survey for the National Sheriffs’ Association provided to Secrets, just 29% approved of the job Harris has done to fix the “root causes” of illegal immigration, with 49% grading her a “D” or “F.”
And support for a border wall, started during the Trump administration, has grown to 65%. Surprisingly, 50% of Democrats want the border wall completed or expanded.
...
The reasons are simple, according to Sheriff Mark Dannels of Cochise County, Arizona. More than ever, Americans see illegal immigrants as a big problem in their community.
Dannels, the National Sheriffs’ Association’s border security chairman, said the share of Americans who think migrants are a problem for their community has increased sharply from 50% in May 2023 to 69% this month.
“Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are flooding the southern border as the massive onslaught of cartels brings illegal guns, national security threats, deadly fentanyl, human trafficking, and child and female exploitation into every American community,” he said in an analysis of the group’s poll conducted by TIPP.
The sheriffs also polled on one of the criminal cases involving an illegal immigrant who allegedly paid the mother of a 12-year-old to have sex with her child in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin.
The survey found that 48% blame Harris and President Joe Biden for the alleged assault by the Nicaraguan illegal immigrant. “Surprisingly, even a third of Democrats blame Harris and Biden,” Dannels said.
It is just one of several stories about illegal immigrants allegedly assaulting and killing Americans this year and is a problem weighing on the presidential election.
IMO, it’s hard to imagine a law enforcement officer being a democrat....
finishing the wall is a joke at this point, the damage is done and what good does it do to finish the wall when the libs will just leave the doors wide open anyway...
What is wrong with 29% of the sheriffs? And the 35% who DON’T support a border wall... They should resign immediately because they obviously are inappropriately compromised one way or another. Someone should tell these people that they are sheriffs in the United States of America...not Sheriffs of the world.
There are liars and cheats in every profession. The trick is not to allow them to much power.
Remember when Trump was hounded mercilessly by libs and called a racist when he said “they aren’t sending us their best”?
How do you like that? They AREN’T sending us their best.
I should think if a Democrat is anywhere near law-abiding, they would want the border absolutely secured. By now, it looks like it’s going to take a lot more than just getting the border secured to get America’s sovereignty back where it should be.
The wall can be finished but the gates have to be closed and locked too.
Biden-Harris = Born Losers
Failed at everything they do and others have to pay the price.
