A significant majority of U.S. voters support Texas in its efforts to bolster security on the U.S.–Mexico border amid an influx of illegal immigrants by putting up razor wire barriers to block unlawful crossings, a new poll shows.

The poll, conducted by Rasmussen and published on Jan. 29, found that 69 percent of likely U.S. voters support Texas’s strategy. The poll was taken from Jan. 23 to 25 and captured the views of 940 likely voters; it has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent.
