**New Surveys on Border, Immigration: Americans Want Cooperation and
Solutions**

**WASHINGTON, D.C.** - As President Joe Biden and former President
Donald Trump travel to the U.S.-Mexico border today, two surveys
released this week reinforce the broad support among Americans for a
combination of immigration and border solutions this year.

In a Bullfinch Group and National Immigration Forum survey of 1,200
adults, including 1,000 registered voters, 55% of the registered voters
responded that they would prefer "Republicans and Democrats work
together and compromise with each other to reform immigration," rather
than have one party or the other "stand their ground" and not
compromise.

A second question found a 35-point spread among registered voters
(58%-23%) in support vs. opposition to the following statement:
"Language that dehumanizes migrants at U.S. borders contradicts our
values and harms efforts by Republicans and Democrats to work together
on commonsense solutions." The rest said they were unsure. Percentages
were nearly identical among all adults.

Full crosstabs on the above questions are available for registered
voters
 and all
adults
.

In a separate survey Lifeway Research released Wednesday
,
77% of U.S. evangelicals said they support Congress acting on
immigration legislation this year, and 80% would support "Republicans
and Democrats working together on a combination of immigration reforms
that strengthens border security, creates a pathway to citizenship for
undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children, and
provides a reliable number of screened, legal farmworkers." Find

"Americans are beyond ready for Democrats and Republicans to work
together on solutions that reaffirm our security, compassion, and moral
leadership in the world," said 

**Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum**.
"Elected leaders and candidates must sow seeds of unity rather than
division. Voters want leaders to enact solutions, not play politics."

###

**The National Immigration Forum, in conjunction with The Bullfinch
Group, conducted a nationwide online survey fielded Feb. 17-22, 2024,
among 1,200 adults, of whom 1,000 respondents were registered voters.
Sampling controls were used to ensure that a proportional and
representative number of respondents were interviewed from demographic
groups such as age, gender, political affiliation, race, and geographic
region. The margin of error for registered voters is ±3.1% at the 95%
confidence interval. The margin of error for adults is ± 2.83% at the
95% confidence interval.**
