Majority of Hispanic voters want secure borders and stronger immigration law enforcement, according to a June 24-25 poll.

Almost two thirds (62 percent) of the voters preferred secure borders to “basically open borders,” the Harvard-Harrison poll found, while 52 percent believed current border security is inadequate. Over half (51 percent) also agreed immigration law enforcement needs to be stricter, rather than looser.
