Nearly Two-Thirds of Voters – Including Half of Democrats – Want Border Security in Budget Deal

CRAIG BANNISTER | SEPTEMBER 25, 2023

As the nation’s illegal immigration crisis intensifies, nearly two-thirds of voters say they want border security measures included in the next spending bill, even as a partial government shutdown looms if Republicans and Democrats don’t agree by Saturday on whether or not to increase government spending.

A national Rasmussen survey conducted last week asked U.S. likely voters if they “support or oppose making border security part of the negotiations for a new spending bill.”

In response, 63% said they either “strongly support” (43%) or “somewhat support” including border security in the spending bill. Seven percent said they weren’t sure, leaving 30% opposed.

Even half of self-described Democrat voters said they support including border security:
