Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : There, he met with law enforcement officials and watched demonstrations.
57% : Cooperation with Mexico will be key for the Biden administration to manage migration along the southern border and an in-person meeting will give Biden an opportunity to convince López Obrador to accept more migrants from countries that block U.S. expulsions.
52% : Border Patrol in El Paso is also now making about 700 apprehensions a day on average, down from a peak of 2,500 in December, according to a source familiar with the data.
30% :"The president neglecting to visit the southern border-during a time when we are facing record illegal crossings and there is a clear crisis-would be the equivalent of our commander-in-chief not visiting the Pentagon during a military operation, not going to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) during the COVID-19 pandemic, or not assessing the damage after a natural disaster, just to name a few," Capito wrote.
