Ipsos Poll: 42 Percent of Hispanic Americans Want Border Wall

The share of Hispanic Americans in favor of building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border has climbed to 42% amid illegal immigration crisis at the southern border, a new Axios/Ipsos poll found.

According to the survey, the number of Hispanic Americans who want a border wall has jumped 12 percentage points since December 2021. Another 38% supported returning migrants to their home countries — a 10-percentage point increase from three years ago.

A 64% majority of Hispanic Americans also said they would support the president shutting down the southern border if too many migrants cross into the U.S., the poll found.
