Marshall Project Survey of Sheriffs: More With Trump Than Biden on Immigration
The Marshall Project recently released a survey of sheriffs from across the United States. The bottom line: “Among the takeaways, we found that sheriffs — the vast majority of whom are White and male, according to a previous study — are also far more conservative than Americans as a whole, and largely approve of Trump’s performance as president.” (footnote omitted).
On immigration, the survey provided non-surprising results:
“In our survey, most sheriffs proved hawkish on immigration. They want the federal government to spend more on border security.
Federal spending on tightening border security and preventing illegal immigration should be increased.
. . . . We found as many as 1 in 4 sheriffs believed that some immigrants — even those with legal status — take more from the United States than they bring to it.”
