Analysis: Trump’s asylum changes are even less desired than his border wall
By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow April 30 at 10:02 AM President Trump has made immigration crackdown a central focus of his presidency, and a new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows a growing number of Republicans and Democrats agree that the worsening situation on the border is a “crisis.”
Even among Republicans, just 46 percent favor making it more difficult. Among the few groups where a majority support the idea are conservative Republicans and those who approve of Trump . Even in the latter group, though, 29 percent say leave the system as-is, and 11 percent want to make it easier to seek asylum.
There has been a huge uptick in the number of asylum seekers in recent months. More than 103,000 immigrants crossed the U.S.-Mexico border last month, and 60 percent of them were Central American families who have requested asylum. The system has become overburdened, and even critics of Trump’s immigration approach acknowledge the situation must be addressed.But saying there’s a problem and saying this is the solution are two different things.
