49% : We know how to do it: Continue building the border wall; reinstate the Remain in Mexico program and the safe third country requirements and agreements; consistently use Title 42 authority until Covid-19 is no longer a global pandemic threat; stop welcoming and admitting unaccompanied immigrant children into the U.S.; end "catch-and-release"; enforce existing immigration laws, including deportations; and expand employment verification to ensure employers hire only work-authorized employees.
