Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : To end the risk that migrants will be harmed crossing the border illegally, you must fully enforce the laws of the United States that prohibit illegal immigration between ports of entry.
45% : Tigar also shot down a 2019 rule that forbade migrants to seek asylum if they had failed to ask for refuge in a country they passed through on their way to the US-Mexico border.
40% : Securing the rights and safety of migrant workers can only be achieved through the mobilization of the working class on an international basis, and abolition of capitalism and its nation-state system.
37% : In his ruling, Tigar sided with advocacy groups who had urged him to reject the restrictions on the basis that they endangered migrants and violated federal law, which states that anyone on US soil may request asylum, no matter how they arrived.
37% : The Border Patrol made 99,545 arrests last month, the lowest monthly tally since Biden took office.
33% : The rules state that migrants are ineligible for asylum if they crossed the border without seeking asylum in another country on their way to the US.
25% : Lawyers for the Biden administration had told Tigar in court filings that overturning the restrictions could have a "chaotic impact" on the border, and that they feared migrants would rush the international boundary and overwhelm the Border Patrol.
14% : In 2018, Tigar temporarily blocked the Trump administration from denying asylum to migrants who crossed the southern border illegally.
