Forty-seven percent of voters think illegal immigration will increase under a Harris presidency

A new survey finds 47% of American voters believe that illegal immigration will increase if Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris becomes the president. 

The survey by the Napolitan News Service also showed 60% of those surveyed believed that illegal immigration would likely decrease under GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. 

Fifty-four percent of voters surveyed said that they believed Harris as vice president was given responsibility for the southern U.S. border. 

Republicans, Democrats and others continue to disagree on whether her portfolio the root cause of immigration in Latin American or the crisis-level number of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border

The poll was conducted Aug. 19-20 and surveyed 1,000 registered voters.
