Just 7 percent of Americans say illegal immigration 'not a problem' at all: Poll

A new poll reveals that very few Americans say that illegal immigration is not a problem.

A wide-ranging Economist/YouGov survey gauged the level of concern Americans have on the issue to find that only 7 percent of the overall public say illegal immigration is “not a problem”; 2 percent of Republicans, 7 percent of independents and even 12 percent of Democrats agree with the statement.

Amid non-stop news coverage of the President Trump’s battle to fund a border wall and the Central American caravan, the poll suggests that public worry is pronounced — almost two thirds says illegal immigration is a serious problem, with some predictable partisan divides. Here’s what the survey found:

• 40 percent of Americans overall say illegal immigration in the U.S. is a “very serious problem”; 73 percent of Republicans, 38 percent of independents and 15 percent of Democrats agree.

• 22 percent overall say illegal immigration is a “somewhat serious problem”; 19 percent of Republicans, 21 percent of independents and 26 percent of Democrats agree.

Still it is a way to show America’s frustration. How else are Americans supposed to voice their frustration when the MSM are ignoring them or calling them racists.

Notice how Democrats are trying to ignore it?

“Sounds like they polled 7% illegal aliens.”

I think you hit the nail on the head.

Sounds like a winning issue to me.

Hell, that’s a great breakdown for winning a presidential election.

I don’t believe in go fund me

**********************************

I’m quite skeptical of it myself

And in the case mentioned, I believe the dems passed a stipulation that no private funds can be used to build the wall.

YUGE misdemeanors!

Funny, all of the trolls in comment sections of news articles are claiming that most Americans don’t want the wall, of any kind. I have yet to meet someone that thinks this.

Same here. Everyone I know wants the wall
