Commentary
The Trump administration is polling well on border security. President Donald Trump’s approval ratings in December indicate that 92 percent of Republicans and 19 percent of Democrats support the president on the issue. On immigration more generally, 80 percent of Republicans and 6 percent of Democrats supported Trump, according to an AP–NORC poll.
