Support for the kind of nationwide enforcement that Trump warned of was driven mostly by members of his own party — 85 percent of Republicans say they are in favor of the raids versus 29 percent of Democrats. Amid a spike of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border this year, public sentiment has not shifted much, in that a plurality of voters still believes the country is facing a “crisis” of illegal immigration versus those that believe illegal immigration is a “problem.”
Republicans are more likely to believe it a crisis while Democrats are more likely to call illegal immigration a problem , though the share of Democrats who say illegal immigration is a problem has dropped 8 points from January.
