How Americans View the Situation at the U.S.-Mexico Border, Its Causes and Consequences
Border situation viewed as a ‘crisis’ by most Republicans; Democrats are more likely to call it a ‘problem’
Only about a quarter of Democrats and even fewer Republicans say the government has done a good job dealing with large number of migrants at the border
Most Democrats and nearly half of Republicans say boosting resources for quicker decisions on asylum cases would improve situation at Mexico border
Wide partisan gaps in views of expanding border wall, providing ‘safe and sanitary conditions’ for migrants
