Many Americans view illegal immigration as a “very serious” problem, and a majority support building a border wall, new polling has found a week before the Super Tuesday primaries. A Monmouth University poll released Monday shows that their messaging is sticking — with 8 in 10 Americans across partisan lines seeing illegal immigration as at least a somewhat serious problem. Among Republicans, 91% see illegal immigration as a very serious issue, compared with 58% of independents and 41% of Democrats. Those numbers have stayed relatively steady, said Patrick Murray, director of Monmouth University polling. However, it was Republicans who claimed it did not go far enough to curb illegal immigration, ultimately tanking the bill.
