Even among Republicans, support for the Wall decreases as one moves closer to the US-Mexico border. Article
quote:

A new analysis of this data finds that 63% of Republicans who live less than 350 miles from the border support building the wall, compared with 34% who oppose the wall. Those who live at least 350 miles away from the border, by contrast, are more supportive of the wall (76% favor, 21% oppose).

I’m not from Texas, but I’m always surprised how against the wall a lot of Texas Republicans are.

It’s the same as how us southerners are called racists by a bunch of people in Northeastern states like Vermont who haven’t seen a black person in 6 months.

That is the poorest way to use that data. Good job of bringing negative information into a positive report.

This data is from 2 years ago. Is there any recent data?

Have an upvote for a nice try.

But here on the TD Poli Board, all facts that the natives find inconvenient will be roundly & soundly shouted down. Sad.

If you really want to drop the numbers, run them with GOP members of the Chamber of Commerce. They are all about promoting illegal immigration.

Polls in 2016 had Hillary winning , so I don't know how accurate this is. But , If this is accurate and people who live near the border don't want the wall , their states should have to fully fund the cost of the illegals.

I live well over 1000 miles from the border , why in the hell should I have to help pay for the criminals who flip their middle finger at our laws ?

350 sure seems to be a random number to pick. Turns out it isn't so random. They went with 350 because it is just enough to include every major metropolitan area. I wonder how different the numbers would be if they went with 250 instead. That would exclude Houston, Dallas, Lubbock, Waco, Santa Fe, Flagstaff, most of Las Vegas and tons of wonderful mid-sized progressive California towns.

That this needs to be expounded as some earth-shattering discovery is a sad commentary on the average American IQ.
