Support for the building of a fence along the Mexican border has reached a new high, and voters are more confident than ever that illegal immigration can be stopped.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of U.S. voters now believe the United States should continue to build a fence on the Mexican border. That’s up nine points from March when the Obama administration halted funding for the fence and the highest level of support ever.

Just 21% oppose the continued building of the border fence.

Support for the fence is strong across all demographic groups. But while 76% of Mainstream voters think the United States should continue to build the fence, 67% of the Political Class are opposed to it.

Forty-seven percent (47%) of all voters believe it is possible to end illegal immigration. That’s up slightly from April of last year.

    I haven’t seen a single pole that backs Obumbler and he continues to give the country a big F U.

    Only 21% of real Americans according to this article, don’t want the fence. Your stats, about 20. If it’s a numbers game, you lose. By the time your threat would materialize the good people of this country will have control of the borders and the infestation of our cities by parasites who pollute their own neighborhoods with gangs and drugs. A cancer in their families and communities. Get my drift. I was born and spent the first 40 years of my life in San Diego. I know first hand what kind of garbage criminal immigrants bring to communities. RESPECT OUR LAWS OR GET THE HELL OUT. These are the facts.

    What kind of hypocrit asks for the legal system he so easily disregards to protect him? When have you erroded the system you yearn for so extremely, that you live in Mexico again?

    And yes I miss “W”.

    That makes it a viable political weapon to end the stranglehold of the progressives who benefit from illegal immigration. Remember, if Republicans and Democrats want this problem to continue, only Tea Party independents and Libertarians will end illegal immigration, so keep that in mind on November 2nd when you are thinking about who you should REALLY be voting for…
