Safety nets for migrants repel Biden’s Black voters; support for border wall hits record high

The politics of immigration have shifted as chaos at the border persists, according to a pollster who says Black voters, in particular, are slipping away from President Biden over the issue.

Black men are drawn to former President Donald Trump. His critique that the surge of illegal immigrants is a drain on America rings true to them, said Raghavan Mayur, president of TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence and founder of its TIPP poll.

“Now what is happening is that the government resources that used to go to help them in cities, that is being diverted to migrants. They’re asking, ‘Hey, what’s happening? You guys are cutting this stuff, and you are spending it on migrants,’” Mr. Mayur told The Washington Times.
