Hank Berrien

A new poll by the Mexican newspaper El Universal shows that since October 2018, more Mexicans support stricter immigration enforcement to keep illegal immigrants from entering Mexico. Last October, the percentage of Mexicans who agreed that tougher immigration was necessary was 49%; that percentage has risen to 61%.

As Newsbusters reports, “The poll also found that 54% of Mexicans are opposed to their government offering work visas to the asylum-seeking wave of Central Americans flooding into their country. The same poll also found that 47% of Mexicans believe President Trump will deliver on his threats to impose tariffs on Mexican imports, while 21% do not.”
