Trump, at U.S.-Mexican border, slams Biden for 'open, really dangerous' border

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : "There has never been a border so secure as the southern border that we had, and now it's opened up," the former president emphasized as he sat down for a briefing from Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas and Lone Star State law enforcement and border officials.
45% : Republicans have signaled that they hope to make border security and the wider issue of immigration a key issue in next year's midterms, as they aim to win back majorities in both the House and Senate.
44% : "We're going to admire the wall and how it works," Trump said at the end of the briefing as he and Abbott headed out to tour an unfinished part of the border wall.
44% : The governor announced a couple of weeks ago steps to stem the flow of migrants illegally crossing the border into Texas - among them are temporary fencing along the border as he pledges to finish construction of the border wall, beefing up the presence of state police at the border, and arresting and jailing people caught illegally trespassing on private property.
43% : Trump made border security a top policy during his administration and in 2019 declared a state of emergency in order to divert federal funds heading to the military to pay for the border wall.
40% : Arrests along the southern border with Mexico have surged this year to their highest monthly averages in two decades, with Republicans blaming Biden's immigration policies for the influx.
38% : After heavy criticism from Republicans and even a few Democrats, Vice President Kamala Harris - who's been tasked to steer aspects of the administration's handling of the immigration crisis - toured the southern border last week.
36% : Border security also appears to be an issue that the current president is struggling with when it comes to public opinion.
31% : Dan Patrick, Texas Lieutenant governor, argues the left has already 'handcuffed' itself by not allowing ICE and Border Patrol to do their jobs.
29% : Biden has ended many of the restrictive immigration polices implemented by Trump, who repeatedly pledged during his successful 2016 campaign for the White House to build a border wall and make Mexico pay for the construction.
