More than half of the residents polled said they oppose additional funding to build more of the southern border wall.
A majority of residents who live near the Southwestern border disagree with President Donald Trump's immigration policies, and many lack trust in Border Patrol agents, according to a new poll.from the U.S. Immigration Policy Center at the University of California-San Diego. It surveyed 2,750 residents from California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas from October 8 to 22 and has a margin of error of 2 percentage points. The results were released Thursday.
Residents not only disapproved of Trump's methods. They also expressed a desire for policies that are the opposite of what his administration has offered. Nearly 70 percent of those polled want unaccompanied migrant children caught trying to cross the border to be placed in the care of a child welfare specialist instead of Border Patrol or Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. But the most support, from over 80 percent, came for providing food and water to migrants in distress even if they are attempting to illegally cross the border.
