President Joe Biden is changing America\u2019s views on immigration<\/a> — but not the way he intended. Last year, Gallup polling showed a public that equally favored increases and decreases in immigration. Now the number of people who want less migration has nearly doubled, while calls for more immigration have dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One way\nor the other, 58 percent of the surveyed voters say they are dissatisfied with\nhow the White House is handling immigration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiden has drawn criticism from both sides of the aisle for his border policy, and his approval ratings<\/a> on immigration have been more negative than positive, with declining approval from Democrats,\u201d Gallup reported. Among six major policy categories, Biden has his highest disapproval ratings and lowest approval scores on immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president\u2019s current negatives on immigration among Republicans (87 percent) are three points above the previous high recorded in 2015, the last time a Democrat occupied the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While a\nbare majority (52 percent) of Democrats remains satisfied with current\nimmigration levels, Independents, including Libertarians, are more than three\ntimes as likely to say they want them decreased rather than increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another survey \u2013 the weekly Rasmussen Immigration Index<\/a> \u2013 has registered consistent public support for lower immigration levels since Biden took office. The index is now more than 15 points below where it was in late October 2020, meaning voters want tighter immigration controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fifty-six\npercent of likely U.S. voters surveyed told Rasmussen this month that\nWashington is doing too little to reduce illegal border crossings and visitor\noverstays. Seventy-six percent of Republicans and 60 percent of Independents\nsay not enough is being done. Thirty-four percent of Democrats took that\nposition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ominously for the president, he is even under water with Latino voters. Citing a Quinnipiac Poll last fall, FAIR<\/a> noted, \u201cDespite the shrill rhetoric of lavishly funded organizations that purport to represent the interests of Hispanic-Americans, a mere 23 percent of Hispanic voters who were polled approve of President Biden\u2019s immigration policies.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
