"The fact that a majority of American voters, including nearly two-thirds of Hispanic voters, want to take the drastic step of temporarily closing our southern border shows that Americans see the impending disaster we face if the border crisis goes unchecked." Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action, said in a statement. "But while President Biden and Democratic leadership ignores our border agencies' being stretched dangerously thin, the flow of sex trafficking and drugs continuing unchecked across our borders, and criminal cartels run amok — the American people are noticing, and will respond accordingly in November."

The Trafalgar Group polled 1,000 likely 2022 voters across the U.S. from April 24-27, 2022 with no margin of error given.
