Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : During the height of the pandemic, few families were held in custody, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials are now using those facilities to hold single adults who cross the border illegally.
48% : The Border Patrol stopped migrants 128,410 times on the Mexican border in January, down 42% from December, which was the highest month on record.
45% : But the U.S. has increasingly moved to restrict migrants as it faces record numbers of people coming to the Mexico border seeking asylum and is seeing some success at bringing down the number of migrants making a dangerous and often deadly journey.
36% : The majority of migrants who come seeking asylum do not actually win asylum, according to data from the U.S. government.
26% : Last month, the administration said it would generally deny asylum to migrants who show up at the U.S. southern border without first seeking protection in a country they passed through, mirroring an attempt by the Trump administration that never took effect because it was blocked in court.
