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.

Even among Republicans, support for the Wall decreases as one moves closer to the US-Mexico border.
That this needs to be expounded as some earth-shattering discovery is a sad commentary on the average American IQ.

Not at all.
But Texas is unique in its proximity to the commodity.

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



It probably looks a lot like the dems flip on the issue

The article said that support for the wall decreased further as one got closer to the border than the 350, even among Republicans. It also said that the sample size was small enough at the shorter distances that the differences might not be statistically significant.

I'd strongly suspect the number would rise. Will Hurd's vote being supportive of the premise.

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 ?
