APRIL 6, 2020: Between December and February, as the coronavirus infection ([link removed]) was spreading, a total of 759,493 people entered the United States from China. That total included “228,000 Americans returning home and hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationals arriving for business, academics, tourism or to visit family.”[1] ([link removed])
During that same time frame, “343,402 arrived from Italy, 418,848 from Spain and about 1.9 million more came from Britain.”[1] ([link removed])
A Scott Rasmussen ([link removed]) public opinion survey found that 51% of registered voters believe the United States should require stricter security on future trade and travel with China. Twenty-seven percent (27%) disagree and 22% are not sure.[2] ([link removed])
By a 71% to 12% margin, Republicans ([link removed]) think stricter security is needed. Among independent ([link removed]) voters, 48% want stricter security while 28% disagree. Democrats ([link removed]) are evenly divided–37% say yes to stricter security and 40% say no.[2] ([link removed])
The survey also found a modest plurality in favor of stricter security on future trade and travel with _all_ nations. Forty-two percent (42%) think that’s a good idea while 34% do not.[2] ([link removed])
