Well, Huh - Suddenly Californians Not So Hep on Immigration?

California voters, including Democrats and racial minorities, are increasingly sceptical of immigration, a poll from Berkeley IGS found earlier this week.

According to the survey, 72% of registered voters in the state believed that illegal immigrants are a burden on the country, including 64% of Joe Biden supporters and 62% of registered Democrats. The majority of those who identified as moderate and somewhat liberal also believed illegal immigrants were a burden — as did the majority of voters in every age category, including 18-29 year olds.

While most prospective voters in California believe the border with Mexico is not secure, Democrats are evenly split on the issue.

California has more illegal immigrants than any other US state, and is still enacting policies which support them, despite the sentiments of Democratic voters. Last month, it became the first state to offer free health coverage to illegal immigrants. California is a sanctuary state, meaning many state agencies do not cooperate with federal authorities to deport illegal immigrants.
