Trump’s Border Is Secure, Crime Is Down, and Even Democrats and Independents Know It
President Trump devoted some of the most powerful moments of his State of the Union to immigration enforcement and public safety and our data shows he is winning on both. A commanding 57% of voters say the border is more secure under Trump than it was under Biden. A majority says immigration enforcement has become more effective. And 86% of Americans say they feel as safe or safer in their communities as they did two years ago.
But the most important finding in this memo may be what’s happening across the aisle. A majority of Democrats (51%) now rate the U.S.-Mexico border as somewhat or very secure. More than a quarter of Democrats (26%) say the border is more secure under Trump and 56% of Independents agree. The media narrative that Trump’s immigration policies are divisive is collapsing under the weight of the data. Voters across the political spectrum can see the results.
The President laid the case out in vivid, human terms, telling the stories of families destroyed by illegal alien crime, demanding passage of the “Dalilah law” to bar states from granting commercial licenses to illegal immigrants, and calling for an end to deadly sanctuary cities. The polling shows the American public is with him.
