Supporters of both presidential candidates share common ground on two key immigration issues, a recent Pew Research survey reveals.
The surprising consensus between likely voters for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and Republican opposite number Donald Trump agree on strengthening border security and expanding highly skilled immigration
Analysis of newly-released U.S. Census Bureau data by the Pew Research Center reveals that 96 percent of Trump supporters and 80 percent of likely Harris voters are in favor of tightening security measures on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Across party lines, Republicans and Democrats back calls for curbs on immigration figures. Some 55 percent of respondents wanted to see immigration levels decrease, according to a poll by Gallup in July.
Additionally, there’s notable agreement on admitting more high-skilled immigrants, supported by 71 percent of those who favor Trump and 87 percent who are pro-Harris.
