About a third (33%) said the situation is about the same In another finding, a majority disapprove of Biden\u2019s handling of the border crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy an 18-point margin, more disapprove (52 percent) than approve (34 percent) of his performance on immigration. Views are nearly identical on border security, as just over half disapprove (51 percent vs. 35 percent approve),\u201d the latest Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Fox_April-18-21-2021_National_Topline_April-25-Release.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">survey<\/a> found.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo-thirds are extremely or very concerned about both illegal immigration (67 percent) and the treatment of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border (65 percent). That places these concerns in a second-tier, behind top items like the economy (78 percent), gun laws (74 percent) and health care (73 percent), but ahead of others such as voter suppression (60 percent), voter fraud (59 percent), being able to pay bills (58 percent), and climate change (57 percent),\u201d Fox reported.<\/p>\n<p>In another poll, more than half of those surveyed said they disapprove of <span class=\"rollover-people\" data-behavior=\"rolloverpeople\">Biden<\/span>\u2018s handling of the surge in Central American migrants, particularly young unaccompanied children.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0the Washington Post\/ABC News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/context\/april-18-21-2021-washington-post-abc-news-poll\/72d8dab8-8a54-4468-a964-b7326876814d\/?itid=lk_inline_manual_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">poll<\/a>, 53% said they disapprove at least somewhat of the job Biden has done to handle the border crisis, while 37% approved. Nearly half \u2014\u00a044% \u2014strongly disapproved. Still, 64% of Democrats approve of Biden\u2019s handling, compared to 10% of Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>The Fox poll found that Americans blame Biden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome 75 percent of Republicans think border security is worse, up from just 6 percent who felt that way the last time the question was asked when Donald Trump was president in June 2018. For Democrats, 27 percent say border security is better now, up from 13 percent,\u201d Fox reported. \u201cPeople see Biden as responsible for the current border situation. Fifty-six percent of voters think the increase of migrants trying to enter the U.S. is \u2018completely\u2019 or \u2018mostly\u2019 happening because Biden won the election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In some of his first actions in office, Biden did away with the Migrant Protection Protocol (MPP) \u2014 also known as the \u201cRemain in Mexico\u201d policy \u2014 which kept foreigners who tried to enter the U.S. illegally in camps in Mexico while they awaited hearings. Instead, Biden returned to a \u201ccatch-and-release\u201d policy in which illegal aliens are allowed to enter the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, the flow of foreigners to the border exploded. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents apprehended nearly 100,000 people at the border in February. Last April, just more than 16,000 were captured at the border,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2021\/03\/15\/migrant-apprehensions-at-u-s-mexico-border-are-surging-again\/\">according<\/a>\u00a0to Pew data.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, after weeks of denying journalists access to an overcrowded migrant facility at the U.S.-Mexico border, reporters were finally allowed in to get their first look.<\/p>\n<p>A pool of selected reporters and photographers was allowed into the center in Donna, Texas, where more than 4,000 migrants are held. Some 3,400 are unaccompanied minors. Photos show migrants packed into plexiglass pods, strewn with shiny Mylar blankets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are eight \u2018pods\u2019 in total \u2014 critics have called them \u2018cages\u2019 in reference to criticism leveled at the Trump administration \u2014 each containing 500-600 migrants,\u201d Fox News\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/inside-border-crisis-press-tours-packed-texas-facility\">reported<\/a>. \u201cGuidelines say there should only be 32 migrants in each pod. Donna\u2019s temporary facility is 140,000 square feet.\u00a0Children sleep on three-inch gym mats and lie under metallic foil blankets. Kids are given masks but many don\u2019t wear them. In one room, pool reporters saw a purple and pink pen surrounding a group of 27 children on an alphabet rug, ranging from 3-9 years old. The youngest child is just four months old.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
