Harvard/Harris Poll: 5-in-6 Americans Want to End Immigration from Mexico

Breitbart:

In the midst of the Chinese coronavirus crisis, about five-in-six American adults said they want to see the United States end all immigration from Mexico.

The latest Harvard/Harris Poll asks Americans whether they would support or oppose an immigration moratorium on Mexico during the coronavirus crisis. Overall, 83 percent — or five-in-six — said they favor ending all immigration from Mexico at the moment.

This sweeping support for ending immigration from Mexico includes 75 percent of Hispanic Americans and 77 percent of black Americans. Another 73 percent of Democrat voters said they support ending immigration from Mexico, while 84 percent of swing voters and 93 percent of Republican voters support such a measure.

Even among the most liberal voters, nearly 70 percent said they support ending immigration from Mexico, as well as 74 percent of voters who supported failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The poll comes as Mexico’s coronavirus cases continue to climb, now reaching nearly 1,000 confirmed infections with 20 deaths and 938 active cases.

While the overwhelming majority of Americans want to see an end to immigration from Mexico, the State Department has issued waivers that will more quickly fast-track many Mexican workers into the U.S. through the H-2B and H-2A visa programs.

The directive effectively allows agricultural and nonagricultural businesses to quickly import foreign workers on H-2A and H-2B visas without standard interview and application procedures. read more

  1. What about all the workers pouring in here from India?
    How about putting the brakes on that too. And how about etc etc etc.
    This country cannot remain the ground zero for the entire third world.

  2. “the State Department has issued waivers that will more quickly fast-track many Mexican workers into the U.S. through the H-2B and H-2A visa programs.”

    is just me or is the “state department” full of traitors to the USA?

  3. We should stop immigration from everywhere – not just mexico.
    When we have 110% employment we might consider importing some rats.

    Simply put, we don’t need them – and their wants shouldn’t be considered.
    Best interest of the United States of America – nothing else.

  4. No one seems to be talking about it, but with the impending failure of all the businesses -as the result of the panic shutdown- that they usually work at what are we going to do with all these millions of basically unskilled low end workers that we’ve allowed to invade us?

    When there’s no longer work for them so they can find a place to live and pay rent and buy food and all that other stuff that enriches our economy so much (as the Leftists constantly remind us) what do we do with them?

    This is going to turn into a bad situation soon, IMO.

    The State Department? That wholly owned subsidiary of the Executive Branch. Oh. That can’t be. There must be some mistake.

    But, it IS in the best interest of The United States. Interest. GDP. Profit.

    It’s America(ns) that are “problematic”.
