Gallup Poll Shows Republicans More Concerned Than Dems about Illegal Immigration

The public’s anxiety over illegal immigration is close to a two-decade high, according to a new Gallup poll released Tuesday, but the issue is viewed on partisan lines.
In the poll, 41% said they worry a great deal about illegal immigration, the highest total since 2007. Overall, around 60% of adults said they worry at least a fair amount about illegal immigration. Only 17% of those surveyed said they worry about immigration a little, while 23% said they don’t worry at all about the issue.
The poll was conducted before the Biden administration announced they will be dropping Title 42, which allows Border Patrol to deny asylum claims and deport migrants due to COVID-19, The Hill observed. Title 42 has led to the quick deportation of hundreds of thousands of migrants in two years, according to CBS News.
